The SNMP MIB Manager validates all MIB files that are imported into or already exists in WhatsUp Gold. If an error is identified in a MIB file, the Status column displays the number of errors and warnings in the file. If the MIB file syntax is correct and all MIB file dependencies are fulfilled, then a check mark is displayed next to the MIB file name and a Success message displays in the Status column.
If an error exists in a MIB file, you can use the MIB manager to identify where code problems exist, then open the MIB file in a text editor (for example, Notepad) and correct the code. There are a variety of issues that may exist in the code; for example, there may be a simple syntax error in the MIB file or there could be a MIB file that has a dependency on another MIB file. Use the error messages when you view a MIB file to find and correct the problem.
There are two types of errors that may display in the SNMP MIB Manager list:
Tip: The most common MIB errors are caused by a MIB dependency on another MIB file that is not included in the MIB library. Often, when this issue is corrected, many of the MIB issues are resolved.
Example: If a MIB is missing, the MIB Manager indicates the issue in an error as shown in this example excerpt from a MIB status report:22 ipMRouteGroup, ipMRouteSource,
23 ipMRouteSourceMask, ipMRouteNextHopGroup,
24 ipMRouteNextHopSource, ipMRouteNextHopSourceMask,
25 ipMRouteNextHopIfIndex,
26 ipMRouteNextHopAddress FROM IPMROUTE-STD-MIB
Error: Cannot find module (IANA-RTPROTO-MIB): At line 26 in
C:\PROGRA~1\Ipswitch\WhatsUp\Data\Mibs/IPMROUTE-STD-MIB.my
The important information in this report is:Cannot find module (IANA-RTPROTO-MIB).
This information indicates that the IANA-RTPROTO-MIB is missing from the MIB library in C:\Program Files\Ipswitch\WhatsUp\Data\Mibs
If you determine that a MIB file is missing, you can manually copy the file to the \Program Files\Ipswitch\WhatsUp\Data\Mibs\
directory or use the SNMP MIB Manager dialog to add (import) a new MIB file.
To identify and correct MIB file code:
