23 modules from IANA

IANA's entries here aren't a product vendor at all - they're the pure textual-convention and registry modules IANA maintains as shared building blocks that other MIBs import, covering things like interface types (IANAifType-MIB), address families, BFD diagnostic codes, ITU alarm codes, MAU/Ethernet medium types, GMPLS and PWE3 pseudowire type codes, and printer/finisher and TN3270e terminal conventions. None of these modules define pollable tables, counters, or traps of their own - they exist so that a vendor's actual BFD-STD-MIB, IF-MIB, or Printer MIB can use a consistent, IANA-governed enumeration instead of inventing its own. Come to this page not to monitor a device, but to decode an unfamiliar numeric value you found while polling some other MIB - for example, resolving an ifType or dot3MauType code back to a human-readable interface or cable type. Because every module here is standards-track and vendor-neutral, you'll never poll IANA-* objects directly; you'll only encounter their enumerations surfacing inside the vendor or IETF MIBs (IF-MIB, BFD-STD-MIB, Printer MIB, TN3270E-MIB, etc.) that import them.
