MIB Form: Textual Conventions Tab

The MIB form's MIB Textual Conventions tab lists all the format rules defined in the currently displayed MIB file. NNMi uses these MIB format rules to determine how to display any associated MIB variable values.

Tip To view a list of all Textual Conventions from all MIB files, NNMi administrators can use the Configuration workspace, MIBs folder, Textual Conventions view.

Attribute	Description
Name	The Name value that is stored in the MIB definition for the selected textual convention. For example: `MAC Address`
Display Hint	Format rule used with the Value Constraint and Primitive Type to help determine the format when displaying the associated MIB value. For example: for `MAC Address`, the Display Hint is `"1x:"` to indicate the value must consist of a one-byte hex string or two-hex digits, such as `01` or `AB`.
Primitive Type	Defines the base type to be used when determining the format for displaying the associated MIB variable value. For example: for the `MAC Address` variable, the Primitive Type is `OCTET STRING`.
Value Constraint	Format rule used with the Display Hint and Primitive Type to help determine the format when displaying the associated MIB variable value. For example: for the `MAC Address` value contraint is `(SIZE (6))` to indicate the format must include six one-byte hex strings, such as `0A:BC:1D:2E:3F:40`. Double-click the row representing an enumerated value pair. The Textual Convention Form displays all details about the selected enumerated value pair.
