MIB Repository Reference
The more MIBs you compile into the system the smarter Unbrowse SNMP
becomes. All MIB information is stored in a special
database called the "MIB
Repository". You can query the MIB Repository for any information about
SNMP OIDs, SNMP module, or objects.

MIB Repository (top
level object)
Provides scripting access to the MIB Repository. All
other objects are created via
methods and properties of this top level object.
The top level object to access the MIB Repository is called
"UnbrowseSNMP.MIBRepository"
Creating the top level object
|
VBScript
Set
Rep
= CreateObject("UnbrowseSNMP.MIBRepository")
|
Ruby
repo = WIN32OLE.New("UnbrowseSNMP.MIBRepository") |
Events
None
Properties and Methods
| Name |
Parameters |
Access |
Description |
| LoadRepository |
RepositoryDB object -
Return value |
NA |
This method must be called after creating the top level
object. Loads in the UnbrowseSNMP MIB Repository file. |
| SaveRepository |
|
NA |
Saves any changes made to the MIB Repository |
| GetGlobalRepEntry |
String - Module Name
Module Info Object - Return value |
NA |
Get the module info object for a given module name.
Eg :
Set modinfo = MibRep.GetGlobalRepEntry ("SNMPv2-MIB") |
RepositoryDB
Represents the repository database. Provides access to OID lookups and
SNMP module information.
Events
None
Properties and Methods
| Name |
Parameters |
Access |
Description |
| OIDIndexTable |
OIDTable object -
return value |
NA |
Get the OID Table. This table contains allows you to
quickly look up SNMP OIDs |
| OIDToName |
String - OID
String - Name (return value) |
NA |
Converts an OID to a full name
eg, converts .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2 to
.iso.dod.internet.mgmt. mib-2.system.sysUpTime |
| OIDToNameShort |
String - OID
String - Short Name (return value) |
NA |
Converts an OID to a short name
eg, converts .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2 to sysUpTime |
ModuleInfo
Information about a SNMP MIB module compiled into Unbrowse SNMP.
Events
None
Properties and Methods
| Name |
Parameters |
Access |
Description |
ModuleName
|
|
Read |
The name of the SNMP MIB |
| PathURI |
|
Read
Write |
The location of the compiled MIB file.
Note: For instant
access to
even huge mib files, Unbrowse SNMP compiles the text into an internal
format. The compiled MIB files have a *.VOSMI file extension. |
| ShortDesc |
|
Read |
A short description about the MIB module |
| OID |
|
Read |
The OID corresponding to the MIB. This OID is also
known as the "MODULE-IDENTITY" |
| OIDName |
|
Read |
The Name corresponding to the MIB. Corresponds to the
MODULE-IDENTITY OID |
| ASNURI |
|
Read |
The location of the text MIB file. This is the normal
format in which MIBs are written and distributed.
Note: The ASN
stands for Abstract Syntax Notation, the language in which SNMP MIBs
are written. |
ObjectInfo
Information about a single SNMP object (OID).
Events
None
Properties and Methods
| Name |
Parameters |
Access |
Description |
| NodeType |
NodeType |
Read
Write |
The node type (whether is a leaf, table,
table entry, notification, etc) |
| OID |
String |
Read |
The OID assigned to this node |
| Name |
String |
Read |
The name assigned to this node |
| ModuleName |
String |
Read |
The name of the SNMP MIB in which this node is defined
(eg, SNMPv2-MIB) |
| ModuleInfo |
ModuleInfo Object |
Read |
The ModuleInfo object associated with this node. |
OIDTable
Provides access to detailed information about any SNMP object (OID)
compiled into UnbrowseSNMP.
Events
None
Properties and Method
| Name |
Parameters |
Access |
Description |
FindMatch
|
String - OID
ObjectInfo object - Return value |
NA |
Find the object info object corresponding to the given
OID. You can then use the ObjectInfo object for more operations.
Eg.
Set ObjInfo = Tbl.FindMatch ".1.3.6.1.2.1.1" |
| AddOID |
String - OID
String - Name |
NA |
Allow you to add an OID to Name lookup entry. You can
use this method if you cannot compile in the MIB itself. |
| Entries |
Collection of ObjectInfo objects |
NA |
Use this to iterate through all the SNMP nodes known to
Unbrowse SNMP.
Eg,
For Each snmpnode In OIDTbl.Entries
- - -
Next |
| NumEntries |
Numeric |
NA |
Number of SNMP nodes compiled into UnbrowseSNMP. |
| FindNameMatch |
String - Name
Second parameter - must be zero
ObjectInfo object - return value |
NA |
Find the SNMP object corresponding to the given name.
Eg,
Set info = Tbl.FindNameMatch "sysUpTime",0 |
| AreInSameTree |
String - First OID
String - Second OID
Bool - Return |
NA |
Are the two OIDs in the same tree ?
Example : .1.3.6.1.2.1.1 and .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2 are the same tree. |
