Meru MIB files should be compiled and loaded on SNMP manager to be used with Meru
controller. SNMP Manager has to have Meru MIB file and compile to access Meru OIDs
through SNMP. To download the Meru MIB file from the controller, follow these steps:
1. Open an MIB Compiler. Load and compile all MIBs.
2. Access the Meru controller from the Web UI.

controller# snmp start
To turn off SNMP messaging, use the command snmp stop:
controller# snmp stop
To reload the SNMP module, use the command reload-snmp:
controller# reload-snmp
