To identify and correct MIB file code:
1 Select the MIB file that has an error message in the Status column, then click View. The
viewer opens with summary information at the top of the page that identifies the
number of errors or warnings. In the Lines with errors or warnings summary
information, you can click the line number to jump directly to a line of code with the
error.
2 Now that the Viewer has helped you identify the problems in the code, open a text
editor and correct the code. The MIB files are located in ..\Program
Files\Ipswitch\WhatsUp\Data\Mibs.
3 After you have made code changes, save the MIB file, then click Reload in the SNMP MIB
Manager dialog.
4 Look for the MIB file, that you made changes to, in the list to determine of all the errors
have been corrected. If all the errors have been corrected, click Close. If the SNMP MIB
Manager dialog (validator) displays errors, continue repeating steps 1 through 3 until
you have corrected all of the code issues.
About the SNMP operations
An SNMP application can read values for the SNMP objects (for monitoring of devices) and
some applications can also change the variables (to provide remote management of devices).
Basic SNMP operations include:
Get. Gets a specified SNMP object for a device.
Get next. Gets the next object in a table or list.
Set. Sets the value of an SNMP object on a device.
Trap. Sends a message about an event (that occurs on the device) to the
management application.
