MibView

The MibView is a SNMP MIB browser. It enables the user to Get the value of any object from any one of the MIBs that is listed in file mibs.all (located in the application’s root directory). The MIB variable is displayed either as a text in the edit box, or as a value in a COMBO box (if it is enumerated in the MIB). Users can also use the Next button to perform SNMP GET-NEXT operation or the Set button to change the value of an object. The name of the current device is displayed and can be set via the upper combo-box. Users can select MIB from the "MIB files" list box. The user can traverse through the MIB tree via clicking on the desired entry in the "MIB Objects" list box.

There are some other buttons which help the MIB browsing process. Click on the Monitor button to poll selected MIB-variable every 1 sec. Click on the Stop button to stop polling (monitoring). Click on the GetEntry button to get the whole SNMP TABLE ENTRY (the entry index must be entered first).

Add, Remove, Change, and Compile buttons are used to add new MIBs to the MibView window.

It is recommended to place the MIB file in the application’s MIBS directory. There is no guarantee

that new MIBs will be compiled properly. That is why the user must have ability to analyze the output errors and ASN1 language. Please , note, that usually there is no need to use this feature, because a lot of standard and private MIBs are already included by default.

The MibView window is also could be used to select a MIB-variable for the RMON Group 3 (alarms) settings. Please, see RMON Groups 3,9 (Alarms, Events)HELPID_GROUP3 for the details.
