How to Edit empire.asn1 for Extension Variables

Follow these steps to add your own extension variables to the Systems Management MIB (empire.asn1):

1. Create and debug the relevant extension scripts, and then configure them in the agent's configuration file, sysedge.cf, to include them.
2. Edit empire.asn1 to include new extension MIB variables that exist under the extensionGroup.
3. Perform a test compile of empire.asn1 to make sure that there are no syntax errors. This procedure is specific to your management system and MIB compiler.
4. Import the new empire.asn1 file into your management system software. This procedure is specific to your management system and MIB compiler.

   Note: If you do not reimport the MIB file, your management system software will not be able to access the new extension MIB objects.
