You need to have a custom MIB for any Local Device component that contains objects that you want to expose to an SNMP Network
Manager. If you already have a MIB that suits your needs, then you may not need to create a new one. You can create your own
custom MIB for a “local device” (
) then edit it, if desired, and save it to any read-write accessible location on your host. This custom MIB includes entries
for the current MIB objects that are contained in your station.
Create a MIB
This procedure describes how to use the CreateMIB feature on a Snmp Local Device. The procedure requires that you have established a NiagaraAX workbench connection to the desired SNMP-licensed station with SnmpNetwork properly configured. For more information, refer to About locally generated MIBs.
-
In the workbench nav tree, expand your station tree to expose the Local Device ().
The Local Device displays under the SnmpNetwork node
.
-
Right-click on the Local Device node and select from the popup menu.
The Create MIB dialog box displays, as shown below.
-
In the Create MIB dialog box, type the path or browse to a location to specify where you want to save the MIB file and click the button.
The MIB file displays in the MIB editor.
-
If you need to make changes to the MIB file, use the editor to carefully edit the text and click the button when you are finished.
The file is saved and the MIB editor closes. The custom MIB file is now available for using with “Discovery” and value updates (“Walking the MIB”).
