Adding Vendor-specified MIBs to SIM4.1

[Andreas Radecke_1]

Hello,
how can I add MIBs from other vendors (i. e. ExtremeNetworks and other)? I tried it with command-line-tools MCOMPILE and MXMIB, but the new MIBs aren't used. The components all have "unknown" as "System Type".
In the manual I couldn't find any hints for it. Thank you in advance for your help.

Bye, Andy.

You may need to compile and register some mibs e.g like rfc1215 before you compile and register your 3rd party mibs as these mibs need or rely on these as a pre-requisite, they won't work.

if you open up your mib file in notepad you will see at the top which mibs you need to compile and register first.

alternatively you may have the same problem as me when I tried to use some microsoft mibs like wins and dns. I made sure all the pre-requisite mibs were done I then did the Microsoft ones and it all went fine but I do not get any trap names or event types, there is nothing to configure in snmp trap settings.

another thing, do your networking devices have snmp running
