MIB: SNMPv2-MIB
The vendor's authoritative identification of the network management
subsystem contained in the entity.  This value is allocated within the SMI enterprises
subtree (1.3.6.1.4.1) and provides an easy and unambiguous means for determining`what
kind of box' is being managed.  For example, if vendor`Flintstones, Inc.' was
assigned the subtree1.3.6.1.4.1.4242, it could assign the identifier 1.3.6.1.4.1.4242.1.1
to its `Fred Router'.
