Note: The value of update time interval can affect the perfor-
mance of the SNMP subagent.
If the time interval is too small, the subagent uses much of
the system’s resources by updating the status too fre-
quently. If the time interval is too big, the subagent may not
be able to report controller changes in time.
Therefore, be careful when changing this parameter.
A.7 MIB Compilation and Definition File Creation
The next step in the installation involves the integration of the MIB into
the management application’s database of events and status indicator
codes. This process is known as compiling the MIB into the application.
This process is highly vendor-specific and should be well-covered in the
User’s Guide of your SNMP application. Ensure that the compilation
process successfully integrates the contents of the mlxraid.mib file
(known as the mlxraid_mib object when viewed from within the SNMP
application) into the traps database.
