About the Software --------------------- MG-SOFT MIB Browser Professional Edition for Mac is an SNMP MIB Browser application lets you monitor and manage any SNMP device on the network (i.e., file or database servers, modems, printers, routers, switches,...) by using the standard SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 protocols over IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Along the standard SNMPv3 USM model, MIB Browser supports also Diffie-Hellman key exchange model, so that DOCSIS-based SNMPv3 agents (e.g., cable modems, cable modem termination systems, set-top boxes etc.) can be seamlessly contacted and managed. MIB Browser allows you to perform the SNMP Get, SNMP GetNext, SNMP GetBulk and SNMP Set operations. Besides, the software lets you capture and display SNMP Trap and SNMP Inform packets that are sent from arbitrary SNMP devices or applications on the network. MIB Browser can monitor several SNMP devices simultaneously and contains features like SNMP Table viewer, SNMP Table 'editor', logging capabilities, real-time graphical presentation of queried numerical values, scan for implemented MIBs in agents, comparison of SNMP agent snapshots, management of SNMPv3 USM users on remote SNMP agents, etc. Generic SNMP Trace window displays SNMP messages exchanged between MIB Browser and SNMP agents. SNMP messages are displayed in raw hexadecimal dump format as well as in the decoded, human-readable format. Therefore, the Generic SNMP Trace window is particularly useful for debugging when developing an SNMP agent and for resolving problems when agents do not properly respond to MIB Browser's queries. The enclosed MIB Compiler lets you compile any standard or vendor specific MIB file. The compiled MIB file can then be loaded and utilized by MIB Browser. Generally, MIB files are supplied by vendors of SNMP manageable devices, and contain description of the manageable object hierarchy and object attributes in the SNMP device. In other words, MIB files serve as roadmaps for managing SNMP devices. MG-SOFT MIB Browser Pro. is available for Apple Mac OS X (universal binaries for both, Intel x86 and PPC), for Linux operating systems running on Intel x86 architecture (Red Hat, SuSE, Ubuntu,...), as well as for Microsoft's 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating systems (Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008).
