Hi, I read a product pamphlet from DPS Telecom where they had following Q&A section:
----- Q: I want to use a device feature that isn’t described in the MIB. What can I do? A: You can ask the vendor to extend the MIB to include this feature. DPS Telecom has extended its MIB to support client needs. But you need to understand that extending a MIB is actually a software development project. The MIB is not just a text file. It’s also a software interface document to the embedded firmware of your SNMP device. Making additions to the MIB requires rewriting the device firmware. This is a serious project, involving writing code, debugging it, and undergoing a thorough quality assurance process. ----- So am I correct that vendors like Cisco or Juniper develop their MIB files which are downloadable from their web-sites tightly with their MIB support on SNMP agents? In other words MIB files and MIB support on SNMP agents is closely correlated? thanks, Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
