Canopy Enterprise MIB
The Canopy Enterprise MIB provides additional reporting and control, extending the objects for
any NMS that uses SNMP interaction. This MIB comprises five text files that are formatted in
standard ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) language.
The installation tool for Prizm places this MIB into the
C:\...\PrizmInstallationDirectory\modules\mibs directory. The Prizm server
software expects to find its contents there.
To use this MIB with an NMS, perform the following steps.
Procedure 36: Installing the Canopy Enterprise MIB files
1. On the NMS, immediately beneath the root directory, create directory
mibviewer.
2. Immediately beneath the mibviewer directory, create directory canopymibs.
3. Download the following three standard MIB files from the Internet Engineering
Task Force at http://www.simpleweb.org/ietf/mibs
into the
mibviewer/canopymibs directory on the NMS:
◦ SNMPv2-SMI.txt, which defines the Structure of Management Information
specifications.
◦ SNMPv2-CONF.txt, which allows macros to be defined for object group,
notification group, module compliance, and agent capabilities.
◦ SNMPv2-TC.txt, which defines general textual conventions.
4. Move the following files or the subset of these files from your software release
package directory into the mibviewer/canopymibs directory on the NMS (if
necessary, first download the software package from
http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/support/pmp/software/index.php
)
