ALTEON-ROOT-MIB

Root MIB that defines the top-level OID hierarchy under which all Alteon WebSystems enterprise MIB modules are organized.

ALTEON-ROOT-MIB is a structural, top-level enterprise MIB from Alteon WebSystems that defines the root OID branches (such as switch, ics, and personalContentCache) under which all other Alteon product-specific MIB modules register their objects. It contains no runtime data objects of its own - it is purely an OID registration/naming module. Consequently it has no direct role in monitoring hardware or software status; that responsibility belongs entirely to the product MIBs (e.g., the Layer-4, iSD platform, and hardware-stats MIBs) that hang off the branches this module defines. Every other Alteon MIB implicitly depends on this module for its place in the enterprise OID tree, so an ALTEON-ROOT-MIB reference is mainly useful for tracing which branch a given product MIB registers under. It is present, indirectly, on any Alteon WebSystems device, since all vendor MIBs reference its OID hierarchy.

This module defines only OID tree nodes - alteon, registration, private-mibs, personalContentCache, ics, and switch - with no MODULE-IDENTITY description text and no runtime-monitorable objects of its own; it is a pure registration/naming module that other Alteon MIBs (such as the Layer-4 or iSD platform MIBs) register beneath, so there is no realistic "polling" scenario to describe for it directly.
