Setting Up MIB Definitions › Display MIB Definitions › Compile a MIB Definition

Compile a MIB Definition

You can compile a MIB definition from an external source.

Note: Before you perform this task, you must populate the import/export file.

To compile a MIB definition

1. From the MIBinsight : Defined MIBs panel, enter CM next to the MIB definition that you want to compile.

   The MIBinsight : MIB Definition Panel appears.

2. Complete the fields on the panel. For a description of the fields, press F1 (Help).

   Note: The compiler provides the MIB name, for example, SNMPv2TC-v1.

3. Press F5 (Options).

   The MIBinsight : Compiler Options panel appears.

4. Enter YES next to the options that you want to ignore. For a description of the fields, press F1 (Help).
5. If you want to import definitions from another MIB, which was compiled with a different name, enter the name in the Import Rename field.

   For example, if the MIB you are compiling imports definitions from MIB1, but MIB1 has been compiled and exported under the name MIB2, then you can specify MIB1=MIB2 in the Import Rename field to enable the compiler to find the requested definitions.

6. Press F3 (File)

   The MIBinsight : MIB Definition panel appears.

   Do one of the following:

   • If you want to compile the MIB definition as defined, go to Step 8.
   • If you want to compile the MIB definition from a different external source file, go to Step 7.
7. (Optional) If you want to compile the MIB definition from a different external source file, enter the name of the file in the external source file, and a short description.
8. Press F6 (Compile)

   The MIB definition is compiled.
