Load MIBs from the Console

To load additional MIBs, go to the Configuration workspace, click MIBsLoaded MIBs, and then use the ToolsLoad/Unload MIB... menu item. The Load/Unload MIBs option enables you to view the MIBs that are available to load or unload.

You can also use the ToolsLoad/Unload MIB... menu item to load any incident configuration associated with the MIB. See Load SNMP Trap Incident Configurations using the Console for more information.

To enable NNMi's use of a MIB file from the NNMi console:

  1. Click the ToolsLoad/Unload MIB... menu item.

    NNMi displays the following information:

    • MIBs (User provided) that are stored on the NNMi management server and that were provided by the NNMi administrator.
    • MIBs (NNMi provided) that NNMi has stored on the NNMi management server during installation.
    • MIBs that are loaded in the NNMi database.

      See Click here for more details for more information.

  2. Navigate to the Unloaded MIB view of interest. For example, MIBs Available to Load (NNMi Provided).
  3. In the MIB column, find the MIB you want to load. For example, RFC1381-MIB.
  4. To view the MIB file (source text file) before loading, in the Actions column, click Display.
  5. To load the MIB file in the Actions column, click Load MIB Definition.

    NNMi displays the MIB file load progress including the following:

    • The MIB root object identification (OID) number.
    • Number of MIBs, MIB variables, enumerated values, table indices, and parent/child hierarchies created.
    • Whether the MIB successfully loaded.

Also see the nnmloadmib.ovpl command.

To upload a local MIB file so that it is stored on the NNMi management server and available for loading, see Upload MIB Files for NNMi's Use.

To unload a MIB file, see Unload MIBs.
