'''OID'' is short for ''Object Identifier''. Object identifiers are a hierarchial numbering system that is used by a number of protocols besides SNMP, such as X.509, LDAP, etc. Each OID in a [[MIB]] tree refers to an individual node in the tree, possibly with data directly assigned to that node.

Most MIBs supported by SNMP [[snmpd|agents]] are found below the 1.3.6.1 portion of the MIB tree.

You can use [[snmpget]], [[snmpgetnext]], [[snmpwalk]], and [[snmptable]] to request data at given '''OIDs''' from an agent. You can use [[snmpset]] to send configuration data associated with OIDS to an agent.
