MIB Compiler
The MIB Compiler is used to maintain the MIB database used by EliteView. Definitions for standard
objects, network devices, or private third-party devices can be compiled and included in this database.
All device management applications under EliteView consult this database when accessing devices.
Under normal use, rely on the setup program for new management applications to automatically adjust
the MIB database. However, if you need to modify the database yourself, the compile operation can be carried out
interactively, or as a batch process. Specific MIB databases can also be unloaded when they are no longer in use, or
out of date.
Caution: Compiling changes the MIB. Quit EliteView before running this process to make sure no module
accesses the database while it is being compiled.
MIB Database
MIB.DBF, MIB.DBF and MIB.MDX – You can find these files in the EliteView directory. MIB text files have
the following format:
<MIB Name> BEGIN
.
.
.
END
Each MIB text file can contain several MIB modules, which we may call <MIB name>. EliteView accesses
external MIB variables via this name.
