About MG-SOFT MIB Browser Professional Edition with MIB Compiler ------------------------------------------------------------------- MG-SOFT MIB Browser Professional Edition with MIB Compiler is a SNMP MIB Browser running on Microsoft's 32-bit operating systems (Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT). MIB Browser lets you monitor and manage any SNMP device on the network (i.e. file or database servers, routers, hubs, switches, bridges,...) by using the standard SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 protocols. MIB Browser allows you performing the SNMP GET, SNMP GETNEXT, SNMP GETBULK and SNMP SET operations. Besides, the software lets you capture SNMP TRAP packets sent from arbitrary SNMP devices on the network. MIB Browser can monitor several SNMP devices simultaneously and contains features like SNMP Table viewer, logging capabilities, real-time graphical presentation of queried numerical values etc. The enclosed MIB Compiler lets you compile any vendor specific MIB file. Compiled MIB file can then be loaded and utilized by the MIB browser. Generally, a MIB file is usually supplied by the vendor of an SNMP manageable device and contains a description of the object hierarchy and object attributes on the managed device and serves as a roadmap for managing that device. The enclosed MG-SOFT Visual MIB Builder is an application for visual designing and editing of MIB module definition files. It requires no knowledge about ASN.1 syntax or MIB module definition language. With Visual MIB Builder you can design a MIB definition module, either conforming to SMIv1 or SMIv2 specification, in a matter of minutes. ========================================================================== 2.
