Describe MIBs and traps

MIBs are either standard or enterprise-specific. Standard MIBs are created by the IETF and described in various RFCs. Traps report significant events, such as errors or failures, on a network device. SNMP traps can be defined in standard or enterprise-specific MIBs. The IETF also creates standard traps, documented in various RFCs. SNMP traps are compiled into ASA software.

If needed, you can also download RFCs, standard MIBs, and standard traps from these locations:
