In order to populate the MIB Tree and be able to send SNMP requests to devices, OID definitions need to be in the application database. If the MIB Tree does not have OIDs you need, you need to add the module that defines them.

To access MIB Modules, go to Settings > MIB Settings > Modules.

 

NetVizura MIB - Configuring Modules

 

On the screenshot to the left we can see MIB module table together with default MIBs. As you can see, table shows basic MIB parameters:

  1. Name
  2. Release date
  3. Imports

Looking at the first MIB named “xxxx” we can see that it was released on 6th of January 1994 and that its imports mib-2 located in the MIB called RFC1213-MIB. This means that in order for BGP4-MIB to be added to the database, RFC1213-MIB had to be added before that.

 

 

Adding MIB Module

To add a new MIB module, click the + Add button at the top left of the Module table.


If you try to add a MIB and it fails, the application will show a list of imports needed for that MIB and the missing MIBs will be marked red.

MIB Missing Module

 

For instance, if you want to add CISCO-CLASS-BASED-QOS-MIB you will have to add HCNUM-TC first. If you do not, you will get the message shown on screenshot to the right.

Removing MIB Module

To remove a MIB, click - (remove icon) in the Action column.
