Managing MIB files
NOTE: To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary role-based user privileges and scope-
based operational access to the devices. See Role and scope-based access control in OpenManage Enterprise on page 15.
Third party tools in your data center may generate alerts that are vital for your operations. Such alerts are stored in
the Management Information Base (MIB) files defined and understood by respective vendor tools. However, OpenManage
Enterprise enables you to manage such MIBs also so that the non-Dell EMC MIBs can imported, parsed, and used by
OpenManage Enterprise for device management. OpenManage Enterprise supports SMI1 and SMI2. OpenManage Enterprise
provides built-in MIB files that can be used for Dell EMC devices. These are read-only MIBs and cannot be edited.
NOTE: Only valid MIBs with traps are handled by OpenManage Enterprise.
You manage MIBs by:
Import MIB files on page 137
Remove MIB files on page 139
Resolve MIB types on page 139
By clicking OpenManage Enterprise > Monitor > MIB, you can manage the MIB files that are used by OpenManage
Enterprise and other System Management tools in the data center. A table lists the available MIB files with the following
properties. Click the column heading to sort data.

Ideal process flow of MIB import: User uploads a MIB to OpenManage Enterprise > OpenManage Enterprise parses
the MIB > OpenManage Enterprise searches the database for any already available similar traps > OpenManage
Enterprise displays MIB file data. The maximum file size of MIB that can be imported is 3 MB. The OpenManage Enterprise
Audit log history records every import and removal of MIBs.
