    1. Navigate to the MIB view or form. For example, Select ConfigurationMIBsLoaded MIBs.
    2. Navigate to the MIB Variable view or form. For example, Select InventoryMIB Variables.
  2. Select ToolsLoad/Unload MIB...

    NNMi displays the following information:

    • Unloaded MIBs (user provided) that are stored on the NNMi management server and that were provided by the NNMi administrator.
    • Unloaded MIBs (NNMi provided) that NNMi has stored on the NNMi management server during installation.
    • Loaded MIBs that are loaded in the NNMi database.
  3. Navigate to the Unloaded MIB view of interest. For example, Unloaded MIBs (User Provided).
  4. In the MIB column, find the MIB that contains the trap incidents you want to load. For example, FLOWMGREST-MIB.

    Note The MIB must support the TRAP-TYPE or NOTIFICATION-TYPE macro.

  5. To view the MIB before loading, in the Actions column, click Display.

    NNMi displays the MIB file contents.

    NNMi displays the progress of each trap configuration that is loaded, including the following:

    • The name and numeric object identification (OID) of each trap configuration
    • Whether the trap incident configurations successfully loaded
    • Instructions for loading and listing MIB files.
