Overview of the Brocade 6910 MIB
Introduction
The Management Information Base (MIB) is a database of objects that can be used by a Network
Management System (NMS) to manage and monitor devices on the network. The MIB can be

using SNMP, a manager application can issue read or write operations within the scope of the MIB.
