MG-SOFT MIB Browser Professional Edition can load any number of standard or private MIB files. The software comes with a set of standard IETF and IANA MIB modules, which can be loaded in the "MIB" tab of the main window. Besides, the software lets you save loaded MIB files to MIB groups, so that at any later time the whole group of MIB modules can be loaded at once
-
MG-SOFT MIB Browser offers a convenient and user-friendly Import MIB feature that lets you select vendor-specific MIB definition files on disk and import them into MIB Browser. During the import process MIB definition files are scanned for dependencies and compiled using the command line version of MG-SOFT MIB Compiler. Compiled MIB modules are automatically saved and loaded in MIB Browser, so one can start managing devices that implement imported MIB module(s) quickly and effectively.
-
The Generic SNMP Trace window displays SNMP messages (including trap and inform notifications) 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. In other words, the Generic SNMP Trace window is very useful for debugging when the SNMP agent under test does not properly respond to MIB Browser queries.
-
For easier management of different SNMP agents, MIB Browser lets you configure and use SNMP agent profiles. Each profile stores all parameters required for accessing and managing a particular SNMP agent on the network. SNMP agent profiles can be accessed throughout the application. Furthermore, the status icons in SNMP Agent Profiles window let you tell at a glance which SNMP agent is currently responding to SNMP queries and which is not.
-
In the Multiple Operations window you can add and configure any number of SNMP operations of different types (Get, GetNext, Set, Trap, etc.), and each operation can contain one or more variable bindings. Then, you can execute these operations one after another against a specified SNMP agent by clicking a single button. The status of each operation (success, error, etc.) is displayed in the panel on the left side and the retrieved values are displayed in the lower-right window panel. The entire configuration (list of SNMP operations and variable bindings) can be saved to an XML file for later use. This functionality can significantly speed up repetitive tasks, like configuring or testing SNMP agents, etc.
-
Remote SNMP Agent Discovery window lets you discover responsive SNMP agents on the network. Furthermore, this window lets you select multiple discovered SNMP agents and start monitoring all of them in Info windows or create SNMP agent profiles for all discovered SNMP agents with a single command. Also, the window lets you take SNMP agent snapshots of multiple SNMP agents or select two SNMP agents and compare them in the Compare SNMP Agent Snapshots window.
-
Multiple Variable Bindings window lets you perform Get, GetNext, GetBulk and Set SNMP operations with multiple varbinds in PDUs, as well as send SNMP Trap and Inform notification messages containing multiple variable bindings.
-
Table View window lets you view, poll and edit SNMP tables in tabular form. Table View window features (configurable) color coding to indicate the access type of columnar objects and extracts the values of not-accesible index objects from instances and displays them along the values of accessible objects. This enables easier understanding of SNMP tables, especially if a table has multiple indices of different types
-
Table View window can operate in Edit mode that allows you to edit the values of writable objects and set new values on the agent by means of SNMP Set operation. The Edit mode also lets you add new rows to tables that support row creation via SNMP. The built-in Add Row feature alows you to specify the instance (index) for a new row in a user-friendly manner (e.g., by entering index string values in plain text, choosing integer-enumerations from drop-down lists, etc.) and the tool then automatically generates the instance value in OID format for you.
-
Info windows let you monitor values of arbitrary groups of OIDs on remote SNMP agents. MIB Browser can open a number of Info windows. Info windows can log the collected values to CSV (comma-separated value) files that can be imported to spreadsheet or database applications for further processing.
-
Manage Agent SNMPv3 USM Users window provides a convenient interface for managing SNMPv3 USM users on remote SNMPv3 agents. This includes 'cloning' SNMPv3 USM users, changing their secret authentication and privacy keys, as well as enabling, disabling and deleting USM users. All these operations are performed on the wire via SNMP.
-
Performance Graph window for graphical monitoring of numerical OID values in any number of remote SNMP agents. By touching a graph line with the mouse pointer, a bubble pop-up window displays the exact graph value at that point.
-
SNMP Set Window for setting values in remote SNMP agents. It provides a convenient interface for picking the relevant pre-defined values from MIB definitions.
-
SNMP Trap Ringer Console displays the contents of all incoming SNMP TRAP and SNMP INFORM messages. The left panel contains a list of all received SNMP Trap and Inform notifications. Clicking a notification message in the list, displays all notification message details in the right panel.
-
Agent Snapshot window is used for taking and viewing SNMP agent snapshots. An agent snapshot is a MIB tree-like presentation of MIB objects and MIB object instances including the syntax and values of object instances as retrieved from an SNMP agent at the given time by means of the Walk operation.
-
Comparing SNMP agent snapshots. MIB Browser lets you compare two SNMP agent snapshots side-by-side, showing all implemented object instances including their syntax and value. Snapshots can be taken either from two different SNMP agents or from one SNMP agent at different times.
-
MIB Browser Professional Simulator Edition lets you take a snapshot of an SNMP agent on the network and then simulate this agent on the computer where MIB Browser runs. Simulating means that MIB Browser runs a separate process, which listens for SNMP queries on selected network interface(s) and port(s) and responds to SNMP queries, returning exactly the same OIDs and values as the "real" SNMP agent did at the time of taking its snapshot. Furthermore, the OIDs, their syntaxes and values in agent snapshot files can be edited. This way, SNMP agent developers can effectively simulate an SNMP agent even before developing one. The center section of the window displays detailed SNMP traffic and performance statistics of the simulated agent. MIB Browser can simulate an SNMP agent that listens on user specified UDP and TCP ports and IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses and "speaks" all versions of the SNMP protocol supported by MIB Browser, including SNMPv3 USM (with optional Diffie-Hellman key exchange) and SNMPv3 over (D)TLS.
-
Prompt for OID window lets you specify any OID (even if its MIB definition is not available) and perform any SNMP query operation on the specified OID.
-
MIB Node Properties window displays all properties of selected MIB Tree node, as defined in the MIB definition module. If a node uses a composed syntax defined by means of a TEXTUAL-CONVENTION (TC) macro, the information about the relevant TC, like valid values (integer-enumerations), valid sizes and display-hint is also shown in the MIB Node Properties window.
-
On computers with more than one network interface, the user can select through which interface MIB Browser sends out SNMP requests, for both IPv4 and IPv6 transport protocols.
-
SNMP Protocol Preferences window provides an intuitive interface for configuring SNMP protocol parameters, including SNMPv3 USM and SNMPv3 TSM (TLS/DTLS) parameters,
-
SNMPv3 Security Parameters (USM) window provides an intuitive interface for configuring the SNMPv3 User-based Security Model parameters. MG-SOFT MIB Browser supports all standard SNMPv3 USM security levels and protocols: HMAC-MD5 and HMAC-SHA authentication; CBC-DES and CFB-AES-128 privacy. In addition, it also supports CFB-AES-192, CFB-AES-256 and CBC-3DES privacy protocols and the HMAC-SHA-2 authentication protocols (RFC 7860) in USM.
Besides the standard SNMPv3 USM security model, MIB Browser also supports the DOCSIS Diffie-Hellman key ignition algorithm for seamless management access to the DOCSIS-based SNMP agents, like cable modems, cable modem termination systems, set-top boxes, etc. -
SNMPv3 Security Parameters (TSM) window provides an easy-to-use interface for configuring and managing security parameters (X.509 certificates, private key, password, etc.) required for establishing SNMPv3 over (D)TLS sessions.
-
Diffie-Hellman key generator lets you generate the manager random and public numbers for performing the Diffie-Hellman key ignition operation when accessing DOCSIS-based SNMPv3 agents.
