Loading MIBs

 



 

AdventNet SNMP API provides flexible ways of loading MIBs in the applications. Management applications and applets can use any of the above options for loading the MIB modules.

 

The MIB file can contain one or more MIB modules. The API loads all the dependency files to resolve the MIB module.

 

The standard OIDs and TCs defined in RFC1155-SMI, RFC1212-SMI are already predefined in the API. If the MIB file imports any of the standard nodes defined in these two modules and the imported module is not present, the module is loaded. Therefore, it is optional to have a dependency file which has only the above-mentioned standard OID and TCs defined. In case of other nodes, when the imported file is not present or if the file does not contain the definition for that particular node, IMPORTS FAILED error is thrown.
