Managing Management Information Bases (MIBs)

By modifying the Open NerveCenter MIB, you control which devices NerveCenter can effectively manage. The major SNMP MIB definitions and Open management application MIB definitions are already compiled in the default NerveCenter MIB. You can add other standard MIB definitions and vendors' MIB definitions -- many of which are shipped with NerveCenter -- as you need them.

This chapter includes the following sections:
