Using the ManageEngine SNMP Utilities 103
CopperLink CL2300 User Manual 13 • SNMP Configuration
The ManageEngine is a complete SNMP MibBrowser that enables the loading of MIBs, MIB browsing, walk-
ing 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 trans-
late or parse traps into understandable information.
Using the MibBrowser
Figure 27 on page 104 depicts the primary window of the ManageEngine 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 SN. The ManageEngine MibBrowser allows loading additional MIB files in the text format (the “my” file
contains enterprise specific MIB definitions).
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 in
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
