and hence is not discussed here.
There are five steps to defining new schema:
-^ obtain Object Identifer
+^ obtain Object Identifer ({{TERM[expand]PEN}})
+ choose a name prefix
+ create local schema file
+ define custom attribute types (if necessary)
!block table; colaligns="LR"; coltags="EX,N"; align=Center; \
title="Table 8.2: Example OID hierarchy"
OID Assignment
-1.1 Organization's OID
+1.1 Organization's OID ({{TERM[expand]PEN}} - PEN)
1.1.1 SNMP Elements
1.1.2 LDAP Elements
1.1.2.1 AttributeTypes
!endblock
You are, of course, free to design a hierarchy suitable to your
-organizational needs under your organization's OID. No matter what
-hierarchy you choose, you should maintain a registry of assignments
-you make. This can be a simple flat file or something more
-sophisticated such as the {{OpenLDAP OID Registry}}

-To obtain a registered OID at {{no cost}}, apply for an OID under
-the {{ORG[expand]IANA}} (ORG:IANA) maintained {{Private Enterprise}}
-arc. Any private enterprise (organization) may request an OID to
-be assigned under this arc. Just fill out the IANA form
-at {{URL: http://www.iana.org/cgi-bin/enterprise.pl}} and your
-official OID will be sent to you usually within a few days. Your
-base OID will be something like {{EX:1.3.6.1.4.1.X}} where {{EX:X}}
-is an integer.
