The information collected with SNMP is displayed in a hierarchical format called the Management Information Base (MIB). Each device on the network has its own MIB, and the MIB consists of a collection of objects that can be queried for information. SNMP managers can query these objects and receive information such as network bandwidth usage, device status, and other network statistics. The information is typically displayed in a user-friendly format, such as graphs or charts, that can be easily understood by network administrators.
