Abstract
In a computer network, an object identifier relating to the identity of a network component is generated by applying an algorithm to manufacturer's data stored in a memory associated with the component. An MIB correlating the generated object identifier and the component description is produced by applying the same algorithm to corresponding data items in a manufacturer's product database and correlating product description information with the generated object identifier data.
