Managing MIB files
NOTE: To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary user privileges. See Role-based
OpenManage Enterprise user privileges on page 14.
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 125
• Remove MIB files on page 126
• Resolve MIB types on page 127
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.

Import MIB files
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.
NOTE:
• To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary user privileges. See Role-based
OpenManage Enterprise user privileges on page 14
• Only one MIB file can be imported at a time.
