Networking Functions
This section addresses the loading and compiling of MIBS into Network
Management Systems (NMS). Alternatively, you can consult the docu-
mentation of other NMS on MIB loading and compilation. Below are the
instructions for HP OpenView and IBM NetView, but you should still con-
sult HP or IBM documentation, as the products may change.
From the GUI of HP OpenView or IBM NetView
Follow these steps to load the PDU MIBt:
Copy the files into the directory /usr/OV/snmp_mibs of the network man-
agement station.
This is the default directory where HP OpenView and IBM NetView look
for MIB documents. If you place them elsewhere, specify the explicit path
names in the loadmib graphical interface.
Set the permissions so that you have read access to the MIBs.
From the GUI menu, choose Options > Load/Unload MIBs.
Follow the instructions in the platform documentation, to compile or load
the PDU MIB.
From the Command Line Interface of HP OpenView or IBM NetView
Issue the /opt/OV/bin/xnmloadmib -load filename command, to load the
MIB file.
General MIB Usage
There is no need to compile MIBs for use with Vista Infrastructure Moni-
toring (VIM) [formerly Enterprise Device Manager]. However, there are a
few steps to take before VIM can communicate with a device, and these
are mostly the same for every device.
1. The device must be configured with network settings including an
IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
2. The device must be configured to allow the VIM software to be an
SNMP manager. This usually involves entering the IP address of
the VIM server into the device’s NMS list or device access list.
3. The device must be configured to send traps to the VIM server.
This involves entering the IP address of the VIM server into a
table along with the SNMP community string.
