RAD-GEN-MIB

Defines RAD Data Communications general base OID structure, common textual conventions, and enterprise MIB registration.

RAD-GEN-MIB is a foundational stub module published by RAD Data Communications, a vendor of telecom access and transmission equipment. It does not itself expose monitoring data; instead it establishes the private enterprise OID subtree ('rad') and common textual conventions that all other RAD-specific MIBs build upon. As a base registration module it has no direct role in reporting hardware or software status, but every RAD device MIB that layers on top of it (interface status, alarms, performance counters, etc.) inherits its object identifier hierarchy from the RAD-GEN-MIB OID root defined here. It is foundational rather than dependent, since it is the root that other RAD MIBs import from. It is typically loaded first by an NMS or MIB compiler before any other RAD Data Communications MIB modules so that OID references resolve correctly.

The module defines the single top-level object 'rad', the enterprise OID arc under which all subsequent RAD product MIBs register their own object groups and tables. An administrator would never poll 'rad' directly for data; rather, a MIB browser uses it purely to resolve and namespace OIDs for other RAD MIBs (e.g. device-specific alarm or interface MIBs) loaded alongside it. Its presence or absence typically only matters when a MIB compiler reports unresolved imports for other RAD modules.
