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.
提示: 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.
