摘要
In a data communication network a network management station (NMS) (102) constructs a device Management Information Base (MIB) for interfacing with a device (104) to be managed. The device provides an agent (110) that includes a management structure MIB (114) including data describing a device MIB structure supported by the device. The NMS is programmed with an application (108) that can interpret the data of the management structure MIB in order to construct the device MIB. The NMS detects (502) that the device is present on the network, and, in response, accesses (508, 510, 512, 514) the management structure MIB to obtain the data describing the device MIB structure, when the device MIB is not known to the NMS. The NMS application interprets the data describing the device MIB structure, and constructs (516) the device MIB from the interpreted data.
