Summary: Probably the best Book for Understanding and Designing MIBs
Comment: The book "Understanding SNMP MIBs" introduces the reader to the Management Information Base (the MIB) used to describe data managed through the SNMP protocol. The book covers the basic ideas behind SNMP and the operations supported by SNMP, but the major part of the text really focuses on the syntax and the structure of the information base and on defining and maintaining MIBs.
The book does a wonderful job in covering all the related aspects around MIBs. It gives a very good introduction to SNMP (yes, it is brief, but it is much easier to read than some of the texts that focus on SNMP) it gives a detailed description of the MIB syntax and on how to define, build and maintain MIBs. The task of designing and implementing a MIB is illustrated from different points of views. In one chapter, the practical considerations in building MIBs are laid out, e.g. v1 vs. v2, module naming and module layout, in another chapter, the authors lead the readers through the definition process of the MIBs for a hypothetical company with a small product. I addition an analysis of some standard MIBs and the techniques applied in these is included. The whole book is written very well and is in fact very understandable and clear. A lot of critical points in SNMP and the structure of MIBs are explained and commented (although some of the comments are not really constructive).
There are only a few minor points that I did not like about this text. a) Some of the illustrations are just plain horrible, b) the chapter ordering is a little weird: SNMP intro, MIB syntax, SNMP operations, MIB design, MIB browser, MIB design example (but maybe that's just me?) and c) where is the 2nd edition including v3?
Overall, this is a very helpful book. The material is very well presented and really helps to understand SNMP MIBs.

Summary: The definative book on SNMP MIBs
Comment: This book is the best book I've read on SNMP MIBs. The author really knows his stuff. Most books on SNMP don't cover MIBs in enough detail. This book is a must have for any MIB designer. The author covers all the pesky little details that you need to cover.

Summary: SNMP MIBs is an essential reference work
Comment: As co-chair of the IETF's SNMPv3 working group (the group that defines SNMP), I am constantly asked questions about how to implement some detail of a MIB, or to act as the authority in settling a dispute over the way somebody has implemented a MIB, ot to guide the empoyees in my company about organizing our enterprise MIB. This book, more than any other book I own, provides me with solid reference material about MIBs and SMIv2, and it is the first book I use to find the answers I need.
