1. A Management Information Base (MIB) in a computer device adapted to use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), the MIB comprising:

  • at least one message construct to function as a definition for a constrained attribute set for an object in a remote device, wherein the object in the remote device has a device-specific communication protocol;

    each message construct including a number of entries, and each entry to store a user-specified value for the definition of the constrained attribute set; and

    one of the number of entries including a user-specified message string mapped to the constrained attribute set for the object in the remote device, wherein the message string is sufficiently compatible with the device-specific communication protocol for the constrained attribute set, wherein the MIB allows the constrained attribute set to be managed using SNMP.
