Operations with MIB Files

NetMRI enables importing of device vendor MIB files, editing of MIB files, and general management of all MIB files in the appliance. In many cases, MIB files are bundled within the DSB, but MIBs can also be obtained elsewhere and added to the appliance. When a DSB is added to the appliance that requires one of these MIBs, and it is not bundled with the DSB, NetMRI will automatically search for the MIB in its database.

All installed MIBs are listed on the MIB Manager page. To import a new MIB file, do the following:

1. Go to the Settings icon > Setup > MIB Management.
2. At the top of the table, click Import to open the Import file requester.
3. Click Browse and navigate to the location where you have saved the MIB file.

4. Select the MIB file and click Import. The file is added to the MIB table.

   Note

   System MIBs cannot be exported by the MIB manager. MIBs that have previously been installed by the operator may be exported.

Reloading MIBs into the NetMRI system can take several minutes. If a MIB or DSB is imported or removed, the procedure requires several minutes to complete.
