Using MIBinsight › MIBinsight Browser

MIBinsight Browser

The MIBinsight browser displays MIB details for an IP device. You can browse and update these details, depending on your level of authority.

The MIBinsight browser displays the structure of a device’s MIB as a tree. The MIBinsight browser supports the maximum screen width available, which means that more of the OID values can be displayed.

Objects and their values are dynamically added to this display as you browse through a MIB.

Access MIBinsight Browser

To access the MIBinsight browser

1. Enter /IPDIAG at the prompt.

   The TCP/IP : Network Diagnosis Functions menu appears.

2. Type MB at the prompt and complete the following fields:

   Host Name/Addr

   Specifies the IP address or host name of the host you want to investigate.

   (Optional) Object ID

   Specifies the OID that you want to display.

   Press Enter.

   The MIBinsight : User Security Details panel appears.

3. Press F3 (File).

   The system saves your changes.

   If you did not provide an initial OID, the MIBinsight : Loaded MIBs panel appears.

4. Enter S beside the MIB that you want to display.

   The MIBinsight browser appears, with the selected (or default) object definitions listed.

   Note: Select only MIBs that are relevant to the MIB that you are browsing. For example, it is futile to prime your browser with a Cisco MIB if you are browsing an IBM stack.

Note: You can also access the MIBinsight browser from the IP Node Monitor and the IP Resource Monitor by using the MIB command.
