Loading MIBs

 

Using OpManager, you can load your own MIB file and query the SNMP values from the devices. For this, you need to put the MIB files in the <OpManager Home>/mibs directory.

To load a MIB file, follow the steps given below:

  1. Invoke the MIB Browser
  2. Click Load MIB.
  3. Select the MIB file to be opened from the list.

    Loading MIBs from a compiled file
    compiles and loads the MIB file for the first time. While loading the file subsequently, the compiled files will be used for loading the MIB. This saves the time taken for compiling the MIB every time it is loaded.

    Loading MIBs from a database
    is used when you have a large number of files to be loaded. In such cases, the MIBs to be loaded will be read from a RDBMS, such as MySQL or Oracle.

    If none of these options are selected then the MIB file will be compiled every time it is loaded.
     
  4. Click Load.

Using MibBrowser.bat

 

You can use the standalone MIB Browser also to load MIBs in the following three ways:

Invoke /bin/MibBrowser.bat and load the mibs.

 

Loading MIBs directly

 

This allows you to load the MIB files directly. Whenever the files are loaded using this option,they are compiled and then loaded.

 

Loading MIBs from a compiled file

 

This is similar to loading MIBs directly for the first time the MIB is loaded. Once the MIB is compiled, two files are created. When the same file is loaded subsequently, these compiled files will be used for loading the MIB. This saves the time taken for compiling the MIB every time it is loaded.

 

Loading MIBs from a database

 

This is useful when you have a large number of files to be loaded. In such cases, the MIBs to be loaded will be read from a RDBMS, such as MySQL or Oracle
