1. A method of determining Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) object identifiers in a Management Information Base (MIB) file that identify Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, comprising the steps of: creating an intermediate file that is a representation of the MIB file containing attribute specific information including the SNMP object identifier for each attribute; determining all the SNMP object identifiers contained in the intermediate file that identify relevant attribute types; and generating an output file containing the SNMP object identifiers determined to identify the relevant attribute types.
