The shortest and easiest means is to append the OID (whether it is
in <a href="#17">ASN.1 notation</a>, <a href="#14">dot notation</a>,

to use a space-free notation. This is, among other things, spelled
out in IETF <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1778">RFC 1778,
section 2.15</a>, but was in use long before that time. IETF <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2252">RFC

- According to <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2578">RFC 2578</a>, section 3.5, all OIDs are limited to 128 child OIDs and each OID has a maximum (integer) value of 2<sup>32</sup>-1 (<code>4294967295</code>).<br>
- The last arc of an OID assigned to any object (be it table, row, column, or scalar) must not be equal to 0.<br>- In some cases, a final arc 0 is used to translate between SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 notification parameters as explained in <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2576">RFC 2576</a>, section 3.<br>One example of a MIB module whose OID assignments follow the recommended scheme is the <code>POWER-ETHERNET-MIB</code> defined in <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3621">RFC 3621</a>.<br>MIBs use a notation like "<code>.2.999</code>" where the leading dot shows that this OID is absolute while "<code>2.999</code>" might be considered as a relative OID by some tools which would then add a root OID in front of it.<br><br></div>
