Definition files for SNMP objects

UnixWare-specific SNMP objects are defined in the directory /etc/netmgt. The files containing the definitions have names ending in .defs.

SNMP objects that are part of the MIB-II standard for SNMP are defined in RFC 1213, titled Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-Based Internets: MIB-II.

Refer to object definitions when setting object values

You will need to refer to these definitions when using the setany command to set object values in the MIB database. The definitions tell you the type of the object (an integer, a string, etc.), whether the object's value is read-only or read-write, and valid values for the object (among other things).
