JMibTools

JMibTools is a suite of applications that lets you access and manage any SNMP-

compliant — device through its Management Information Bases (MIBs). A MIB is a

database maintained by the device that stores all its known management information.

Each individual element of information in the MIB is termed an Object.

Known MIBTools Anomalies in SPECTRUM

6.0.2

Problem 1: When you try to run more than one session of MIBTools on the

same workstation, you may receive a blank warning message. You are

prevented from running more than one session of MIBTools on the same

workstation.

Solution: This still is a problem and is being considered in a future

release of SPECTRUM.

Problem 2: On the Solaris 2.7 platform, you may receive an error message

when invoking MibTools. The message is similar to the following:

Error restoring application state.

Version mismatch between stored and application class for:

Hit OK

A new JMibTools-specific file, MibTools-<username>.ser, (where

<username> is your login name) has been created in your home directory.

Remove MibTools-<username>.ser and re-invoke MibTools. This

problem will be corrected in a future release of SPECTRUM.
