EliteView is a versatile network management software package that supports an open platform
architecture. Users with enough technical knowhow can customize it according to their needs in
order to monitor and control SMC or other third-party SNMP devices. This chapter describes a
few useful applications you can adopt to your own network environment.
Adding a New MIB Using the MIB Compiler
Let's say that you want to add and compile a new MIB into the EliteView MIB database. The new
MIB is from a third-party SNMP device.
To add a new MIB into the EliteView MIB database,
1. Get the MIB text file of the third-party SNMP device. Let's assume that the filename of the MIB
text file is DEVICE.MIB.
2. Copy the third-party MIB into the EliteView directory. Type:
3. Type the full name of the MIB file in the Filename field.
4. Select Load from the MIB Compiler.
DEVICE.MIB is now included in the EliteView MIB database.
Tip:
Now that the third-party MIB has been added to the EliteView MIB database you can do any
of the following things:
1. Use Discovery to search for the third-party device.
2. Drag-and-drop the third-party device icon onto any EliteView submap. Third-party
devices are labeled as an SNMP node on the EliteView map.
3. Double-click on the SNMP node to bring up the MIB Browser. A full knowledge of your
third-party MIB will allow you to input the necessary parameter in each box prompt.
This will allow you to view the status of any MIB variable you wish to monitor.
4. Use Log Manager to gather data from the SNMP device.
5. Use Log and Event Manager to monitor the SNMP device.
6. Customize EliteView to receive third-party traps.
7. Import Logged data into other software for further processing.
