MIB Navigator to navigate through the MIB and access the manageable leaf objects.

 

Often an ASCII name is assigned to the OID of a leaf object, making it more readable. To identify 
the value for the object “ipForwarding” you use the OID (/1/3/6/1/2/1/4/1), or its ASCII name      (/
iso/org/dod/internet/mgmt/mib-2/ip/ipForwarding).
