MIB Browser
When you need to manage a SNMP device without a plug-in module in the D-View
platform use a D-View supported MIB browser with the associated MIBs. Right-click on
the chosen icon and you will see a “Properties” item on the pop-up menu. Click it and a
dialog box will appear with an area listing many MIBs with checkboxes. Select which
MIBs the device supports. Then click OK. Go back to the work area, right-click on the
icon again. Select “MIB browser.” This will invoke the MIB browser with the MIBs that
you selected. Now you can use the MIB browser to manage devices.
Note: Before using the MIB browser, you have to retrieve MIB files from a vendor who develops
SNMP devices. You can then use the MIB compiler to compile MIBs. If compilation is successful, then
the MIB compiler will store MIBs to database, and you will see the entire MIBs list under device
properties.
How to Use the MIB Browser
Step 1: Choose the device you wish to browse, right-click to bring up a menu and
left-click on “Properties.”
