Setting Up MIB Definitions › Prepare to Compile a MIB

Prepare to Compile a MIB

The MIB import/export file is used to store exported items and resolve imports during a MIB compile. Before you can compile a MIB that contains import statements, you must populate the import/export file with the required components.

Some precompiled MIB definitions and an empty import/export file are provided. If you want to add and compile any other MIB definitions, you must recompile all distributed MIB definitions to populate this file. The easiest way to recompile all MIB definitions is to use the MIBinsight batch compiler. The batch compiler is submitted to the background system region and compilation messages are written to the activity log.

To run the batch compiler

  1. Enter /IPADMIN at the prompt.

    The TCP/IP : Administration Menu appears.

  2. Enter MC (Run MIBinsight Batch Compiler) at the prompt.

    The compiler starts.
