Private Enterprise Numbers and OIDs within the university

  • What is a Private Enterprise Number OID? An Object Identifier (OID) is needed for defining your own SNMP or LDAP objects. An OID contais a Network Management Private Enterprise Code as prefix.
    This prefix starts with: iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise (1.3.6.1.4.1). Enterprises can apply at the IANA for an own number following this prefix for free. The IANA also provides the list of Enterprise Numbers already in use. (further information about OIDs.)
  • It is the IANA's policy to assign only one Private Enterprise Number per university to be used by all divisions, departments, and projects therein.
  • The Institute of Telematics was assigned number 87:
    87 Institute of Telematics, University of Karlsruhe
  • OIDs within the university can be requested by email to ldap<nospam>@tm.uka.de (please delete <nospam> ). Please name a contact person and an email address within your request.
  • Internal remark: the current table in the SVN-repository Institut/OID-Registry/OID-Registry-Data.txt should be kept up-to-date and also the following list.
