Abstract
The present invention relates to a dynamic SNMP network device comprising at least one MIB module and a dynamic SNMP agent engine installed therein. Each of the MIB module is generated corresponding to a certain MIB, contains necessary data variables and functions and provides the same behaviors as the corresponding MIB. The dynamic SNMP agent engine may load at least one MIB module depending on applications and, alternatively, unload any one of loaded MIB modules. Thus, the dynamic SNMP network device is capable of dynamically expanding or replacing a functional module for providing additional MIB capabilities.
