Import MIB Definitions

WhatsUp Gold enables you to import additional MIB definitions to its local collection. You leverage these trees when querying and browsing MIBs on monitored devices.

The local store/MIB manager provides:

• A visual aid and browsable reference of the MIB objects and types used by various vendors and OSI layers.
• A helpful reference for cases where proprietary MIB extensions (or similar) are defined at the target device.
• A way to validate ASN1.

Tip: MIB source files can be found in Program Files\Ipswitch\WhatsUp\Data\Mibs.

Import a MIB definition

To add a MIB definition to the local tree represented by WhatsUp Gold in the MIB browser:

1. Open the SNMP MIB Manager (SETTINGS menu > General Settings > SNMP MIB Manager).
2. Click 'add' ().
3. Select a MIB file (.my extension) to compile it and add it to the collection/tree representation in WhatsUp Gold.
4. Check compile status and troubleshoot module syntax/dependencies if needed.
