SMI Stands for
Structure of Management Information, which defines the rules for describing
management information, using Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1).
Structure of Management Information (SMI), an adapted subset of ASN.1,
operates in Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) to define sets ("modules")
of related managed objects in a Management
Information Base (MIB).
SMI subdivides into three parts: module definitions, object
definitions, and notification definitions.
Different b/w SMIv1
& V2 is, V2 support counter64, Similar to Counter32, except that the range
is now (0 to 2e64 -1). This type may only be used when a 32-bit counter
rollover could occur in less than an hour. Otherwise, the Counter32 type must
be used.
It may only be used
when backwards compatibility is not a requirement because this type is not
available in SNMPv1.
Abstract Syntax
Notation One (ASN.1) is an interface description
language for defining
data structures that can be serialized and
deserialized in a
standard, cross-platform way. It is broadly used in telecommunications and computer networking, and especially in cryptography.
