20.11 Using the AdventNet SNMP Utilities
The AdventNet SNMP utilities are a set of cross-platform applications and applets for SNMP and
Web-based network management. These utilities can be used for device, element, application and
system management. The tools can communicate and interact with any SNMP enabled device, such
as a SmartNode 1000 or 2000 series device. The following tools are the most useful part of the
product for SmartNode 1000 or 2000 series device management:
•
MibBrowser - used to view and operate on data available through a SNMP agent on a
managed device
•
TrapViewer - used to parse and view the received traps
The AdventNet MibBrowser is a complete SNMP MibBrowser that enables the loading of MIBs, MIB
browsing, walking a MIB tree, searching MIBs and performing all other SNMP-related functions to
users.
Viewing and operating the data available through an SNMP agent on a managed device, e.g. a
router, switch, hub etc., is made possible by using the MibBrowser.
The TrapViewer is a graphical tool to view the Traps received from one or more SNMP agents. The
Trap viewer can listen to one or more port at a time and the traps can be sent from any host.
Moreover the TrapViewer contains a Trap parser editor, which is a tool to create a trap parser file.
The Trap viewer parses the file created using Trap parser editor to match each incoming traps with
certain criteria. Since Traps typically contain cryptic information, which is not easily understandable
to the users, trap parsers are required to translate or parse traps into understandable information.
20.11.1 Using the MibBrowser
Figure 20-1 depicts the primary window of the AdventNet MibBrowser. It consists of a menu bar
,
a
toolbar, a left frame and a right frame.
The operations that can be performed by the MibBrowser are available in a series of buttons in the
toolbar on top of the MibBrowser's main window. The toolbar can be hidden or made visible using
the options available.
The menu bar has various options that perform the same operations as the options available in the
toolbar.
The left frame holds the MIB tree. A MIB tree is a structure through which all the MIBs loaded can be
viewed. The MIB tree component enables us to traverse through the tree, view the loaded MIBs and
learn the definition for each node. The AdventNet MibBrowser allows loading additional MIB files in
the text format, e.g. the Inalp Networks AG enterprise specific MIBs used for SmartNode 1000 or
2000 series device management.
The right frame has labeled text fields to specify the basic parameters like host, community etc. and a
Result text area display to view the results.
There are three ways in which the primary window of the MibBrowser can be viewed. It can be
viewed with the result display, MIB description panel or multi-variable bind panel in the right
frame. The view can be altered by three ways.
•
The desired view can be set by the options provided in the display menu item under the
view menu. (View

).
•
The other way of altering the view is through the general settings panel in the settings menu
item in the edit menu. (Edit

•
The same can be done through clicking the MibBrowser settings button on the toolbar. See
Figure 20-2 below.
