Importing a new MIB into the Management application

The SNMP traps that the Management application receives must be registered in the Management

application in order for these traps to be available. To register a trap, you must first identify the MIB

file that contains the trap information in the mibs_to_compile.txt file. Then, you must register the

traps using the Event Reception dialog box.

Follow the procedure below to add the MIB file that contains the trap you want to register to

mibs_to_compile.txt.

1. Go to <install-dir>\conf\mibs\ (Windows) or <install-dir>/conf/mibs/ (UNIX) directory and copy

the MIB file into that directory. You may want to copy the MIB into a subdirectory of that

directory.

2. In the <install-dir>\conf\mibs\ (Windows) or <install-dir>/conf/mibs/ (UNIX) directory, search

for the mibs_to_compile.txt file.

3. Using a text editor, open the mibs_to_compile.txt file and add the MIB information to the

document.

When adding the MIB information, be aware of the following rules:

• MIBs are compiled in the order that they are listed in the mibs_to_compile.txt file.

• You can add composite MIB files (more than one MIB in a single file).

• MIB filenames in the mibs_to_compile.txt file are case-sensitive. Make sure the case of

the file name you enter matches the case of the actual MIB file. Also, be sure to enter the

complete path of the MIB file, or the portion relative to the mibs directory.

The following is an example of how to add the two Cisco MIB files.

# Cisco Mibs

CISCO-SMI.mib

CISCO-CONFIG-COPY-MIB.mib

# End Cisco Mibs
