MIB Viewer

The MIB Viewer tool queries the Management Information Base (MIB) database to display any OID or Table. It provides a faster method than the MIB Browser to retrieve frequently used MIBs, although it does not provide browsing of the MIB tree.

View OID or table

  1. Enter the host name or IP address of the target device.
    MIB Viewer directly queries the device for supported MIBs.
  2. Provide an SNMP community string.
    To modify values, ensure you provide the read and write community string.
  3. Provide an OID or table name or enter an entire MIB tree.
    The MIB Viewer tool analyzes your input and determines the best way to format the results. You can also concatenate MIBs by placing an ampersand '&' between them. The MIB Viewer downloads each OID and MIB tree in the order you enter them. See Guidelines and examples.
  4. OID values in blue are read and write and can be changed, if you supplied a read and write community string. Click the value and enter a new value, or use the list to select a value.

  5. To view details about a selected OID, including the numerical OID and description, click View > Details.
