1. 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 and SNMPv2c
protocols. A new version supporting the SNMPv3 protocol will be released
in April 1999.
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.
