NAME
     mib - format of specifying variable names to SNMP tools

SYNOPSIS
     system.sysdescr.0

DESCRIPTION
     Variable names are in the format of Object Identifiers
     (ASN.1).  There are several methods of representation. Each
     variable name is given in the format of A.B.C.D..., where A,
     B, C, and D are subidentifiers in one of two forms of nota-
     tion.  Each subidentifier may be encoded as a decimal
     integer, or a symbol as found in the RFC1066 MIB.  The case
     of the symbols is not significant.

     If there is no leading "." in the variable name, the name
     will be formed as if having been preceded with
     "iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib.".  A "." must be placed
     before the first variable if the user is to fully specify
     the name.  For example:

          1.1.0
          system.sysDescr.0
          1.sysDescr.0

     all refer to the same variable name.  Likewise:

     .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
     .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib.system.sysdescr.0
     .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.sysdescr.0

     All refer to the same variable name.
