SNMP Discovery explained - Support and Troubleshooting

ServiceNow says "If there is no relevant MIB, the discovery doesn't go beyond classification phase?"

For a custom pattern, I know the which OIDs to use. Its documented by vendor. I will use SNMP query in pattern and fetch the result. Why do I mandatorily need the MIB file in this?

so as per ServiceNow, since i did not load the MIB file, will discovery stop at classification phase only?
