Figure 1. MIB Parsing window
The MIB parser that is used by the Agent Builder uses the grammar that is defined by ASN.1 to parse the MIBs. Some MIBs do not follow the grammar correctly. The parser can relax certain rules to accommodate the most common errors. By relaxing these rules, you can parse non-conforming MIBs.
- Allow types to start with lowercase letters
- Allows types that people write in MIBs, such as values
- Allow numeric named numbers
- Allows numbers that start with uppercase letters
- Allow underscore in value name
- Allows underscore characters
- Allow values to begin with uppercase letters
- Allows values that start with uppercase letters
- Ignore duplicate MIBs
- Turns off warning for duplicate MIB modules
- Optional: Selecting the Create 64-bit attributes for 32 bit unsigned MIB properties check box, enables the Agent Builder to generate 64-bit data types to handle the maximum value for 32-bit unsigned MIB properties. Selecting this option does not change any existing agent field definitions. You must browse to the MIB file to create new data sources for these properties.
- When you are finished editing the preferences, click OK.
