I know that the SNMP network IP management is based upon the MIB 2.
What I 'd wish to know is if there's an equivalent standard for the OSes
management
other than the RFC1514.

MIB2 is an industry standard definition (.1.3.6.1.2.whatever...)
Other, proprietary (example, an OS) MIBs are defined by the Company that
makes an SNMP Agent available on their devices. Cisco has a MIB
(.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.{whatever.cisco.wants..), as do Bay Networks, and any
other router manufacturer. They need to register a number; Cisco is 9,
Bay Networks is 18. HP has an Agent on their HP-UX machines. You compile
the MIB definition (generally available at the companies web site) into
whatever Management platform you are using (HP-OpenView, for example).
