Download standard MIB format if you are planning to load a MIB file into some system (OS, Zabbix, PRTG ...) or view it with a MIB browser. CSV is more suitable for analyzing and viewing OID' and other MIB objects in excel. JSON and YAML formats are usually used in programing even though some systems can use MIB in YAML format (like Logstash).
Keep in mind that standard MIB files can be successfully loaded by systems and programs only if all the required MIB's from the "Imports" section are already loaded.
The tree-like SNMP object navigator requires no explanations because it is very simple to use. And if you stumbled on this MIB from Google note that you can always go back to the home page if you need to perform another MIB or OID lookup.

 ciscoVirtualNicMIB 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.710
This MIB module defines MIB objects which provide mechanisms to manage the parameters used by or related to Virtual NIC. Virtual switch extends across one or more virtualization servers which host the VM instances. Each virtualization server is represented as a line card module and is assigned to a unique slot in the virtual chassis. All the ports on the virtual switch which can be hooked up to VM VNICs or to special hypervisor ports (e.g. vmk or vswif ports) are represented as virtual ethernet interfaces. Virtual ethernet interfaces(veths) represent the switching ports on the virtual switch which provide networking connectivity to virtual packet based interfaces such as the Virtual NIC (VNIC) interfaces defined on a Virtual Machine (VM). These interfaces are configurable and provide operational information to the network administrator. The assignment of virtual ethernet interface ports to a VM does not change when the VM is migrated. Glossary: APC - Asymmetric Port Channel DVS - Distributed Virtual switch NIC - Network Interface Card NIV - Network interface virtualization PCI - Peripheral Component Interconnect VEM - Virtual Ethernet Module VNIC - Virtual Network Interface Card VSM - Virtual Supervisor Module VM - Virtual Machine VMK - Virtual Machine Kernel VMKNIC - Virtual Machine Kernel Network Interface Card VSWIF - a virtual management port on hosts running VMware ESX. UUID - Universally Unique identifier connectee - Entity connected to a system using veth. eg: Virtual machine System Diagram : ************** * VSM * ************** ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ******** ******** * VEM * * VEM * ******** ******** ' ' ' ' ' ' ****** ****** ****** * VM * * VM * * VM * ****** ****** ******

                 cvnPinningTable 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.710.1.1.2 no-access
A list of virtual ethernet interfaces which supports pinning functionality in VSM. Pinning is a mechanism of directing traffic to or from a interface through a particular interface in a switch. By default, system use load balancing algorithm to pick the best possible physical interface automatically. However, user may use pinning functionality to instrument the finite control on the traffic flow between virtual ethernet interfaces and actual physical interfaces in VSM. For example, user may want to configure that packets from a particular virtual ethernet interface always go out through first interface in the port channel irrespective of load balancing policy on the switch. In order to achieve this, user can pin the virtual ethernet interface to first interface of the switch.

Entry is removed when a virtual Ethernet interface with pinning functionality is removed from VSM.
