registering a MIB

1. Click the Tools tab.

2. From the menu, select SNMP Extensions and click MIB Registration.

3. Select a MIB from the Unregistered MIBs column.

4. At Options for Register, select either or both file creation options:



Create Logfile

Use Editfile.

Then choose one of the following options:

• Create Editfile—Registers the selected MIB (using the source MIB file), and

creates a new REV file if one does not exist for the selected MIB.

• Replace Editfile—Registers the selected MIB (using the source MIB file) and

overwrites the existing REV file in the MIB folder.

• Register Editfile—Registers the selected MIB using the existing REV file

contents to populate the database MIB tables.

5. Click Register. When registration is complete, the MIB is removed from the

Unregistered MIBs column and is highlighted in the Registered MIBs column. If

you do not see the MIB immediately, scroll to find it.

why registration fails

MIB registration typically fails for the following reasons:

• The MIB contains a syntax error—Syntax errors affect the MIB compilation phase.

SNMP Extensions can resolve some syntax errors, but if the error cannot be

resolved, the registration fails. For example, if the MIB structure is invalid, the MIB

cannot be compiled.

• Elements in the MIB are not unique—MIB module names must be unique. If you try

to register a MIB with a module name that is already used by another registered

MIB, the compile will fail.

• The MIB has dependent MIBs that cannot be found—A new MIB will not have all

the components necessary to compile by itself. Most MIBs depend on other MIBs. If

a MIB imports variables from other MIBs, the importing MIB needs a copy of the

referenced MIBs to compile along with the specified new MIB. The importing MIB

will resolve the unknown references from dependent MIBs. If the referenced MIBs

are not in the correct directory, use the Upload feature and register them. Then

reregister the failed MIB.

Note: A registration may appear to fail if the browser times out before registration is complete.

However, the registration continues and will be successful as long as none of the failure

conditions exist. During a timeout, you will lose your connection. To resume working in Insight

Manager 7, log in again.
