Integrate Proprietary MIBs

NetworkView uses the standard procedure offered by Microsoft for integrating external MIBs to the Windows SNMP environment.

• When you want to use symbolic names for walking a proprietary MIB (or the MIB2), the management API looks for this information in a file called MIB.BIN, normally found in the %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32 directory.
• The MIB.BIN is a compiled file. It is build with the *.MIB files found in the same directory
• If you want to add your own MIB (a text file, with probably a .TXT or .MIB extension), you will need the MIB Compiler from Microsoft: MIBCC.EXE. It is available in the Resource Kits for Windows 2000.
• You can add and combine several files, but be careful, the order for specifying the files is important. Read the documentation for MIBCC.EXE in the Resource Kit or check in the MSDN Library for more information (try MIBCC as argument for searching).
