RE: MIB Browser and Loader for NV 7.1

["Dejan Mijailovic" <dejanm@webhosting.com>]

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

O.K Thanks.... It looks like the netview is heading towards Java interface..

But here is what I did to get X-win SNMP V2 browsing and loading:.

Take an  xnmloadmib2 and xnmbrowser2 ARF files from an "old" NV 6.x and put
it in the registration directory of the NV 7 and compile it (restart NV).
And that is it.

  Take another, closer look.

  First, the old X-Windows SNMP V1/V2 loader and browser, xnmloadmib2 and
xnmbrowser2, are there in /usr/OV/bin .  They just aren't on the X-Windows
menu any more because they are no longer being enhanced, but if you feel you
must use them for some reason, have at it.  You just have to invoke them
from the command line.

  Second the new SNMP V1/V2 Java MIB browser is part of the web client.  You
can bring up the web client to use it, or you can invoke it from the command
line.  This latter part may not be obvious but I thought it was in the
Release Notes.  Type  mibbrowser.sh  to start it outside of the web client.
  Incidentally, you can start the Java MIB loader with mibloader.sh (for
command -line only functions including the new mib2trap) or mibloaderpanel
to get the Java  GUI.

  Hi there.

  I have just installed NV 7.1,...well, here are some of the problems:

  First, there is only SNMP V1 MIB loader, while SNMP V2 MIB loader is  Web
  Console (java) based only, while old MIB Loader v1/v2 is gone.
  Web console MIB loader loads the mibs in to www/mibs directory. I think
for
  someone who wants to use only X environment, this is not very nice.

  Second, There is no SNMP V2 MIB Browser. It is gone. Based on the release
  notes, the MIB Browser is supposed to have SNMP Version button with who
  options: Version 1 and Version 2, but there is only simple old SNMP V1 MIB
  browser and that is it.

  To make it short, you compile SNMP V2 MIBS using Java interface and then
you
  can't browse it?

  Does anyone have any idea what is going on and how to solve this problem?

  I appreciate that,

  thanks.
