◼ MIB Browser
Select the information (MIB Variable) to be displayed in the MIB Monitor from the MIB tree.

Table 4: MIB Browser
Item Name | Contents
--- | ---
MIB Tree | Displays MIB nodes according to the tree structure of MIB nodes. MIB nodes are displayed in the form of "object name (number)". Nodes that have child nodes that are further subdivided into specific attributes are represented by folder icons, and end nodes that do not have child nodes (leaf nodes) are represented by file icons. The object ID (OID) of a node is represented by a numeric string consisting of the node numbers from the first node connected by a period. For example, a MIB node that shows system information traverses the hierarchy of the MIB tree as follows: "Iso (1)-> org (3)-> dod (6)-> internet (1)-> mgmt (2)-> mib-2 (1)-> system (1)" As a result, the object ID is represented as "1.3.6.1.2.1.1". Leaf nodes may have multiple pieces of the same type of information. For example, ifSpeed (OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.5), which indicates the communication speed of an interface, is stored for each Ethernet interface such as a port. The number that identifies the same type of information is called an index. Only leaf nodes can be selected in the MIB Monitor. You cannot see the value of a node that has child nodes.
Node Name | Represents the name of the selected MIB node.
Access | Displays the access right of the corresponding MIB node as either "Read Only (value is set automatically by the system)" or "Read / Write (value can be set by the user)". Note You cannot set the value from the SNMP Plug-in's MIB Monitor and MIB Browser.
Status | The implementation status of the MIB node in the specifications is displayed as "mandatory" or "optional".
Syntax | Displays the data type of the information stored in the MIB node.
Units | Displays the unit of value stored in the MIB node.
OID(dot notation) | Displays the object ID of the MIB node.
OID(ASN.1 notation) | Displays the MIB object name in the form of the root (top) or MIB node name connected by a period.
Module Name | Displays the module name that defines the MIB node.
Description | Displays a description of the MIB node.
"Cancel" button | Stops selecting the MIB object and closes the MIB Browser dialog.
"OK" button | Adds the MIB object selected in the MIB tree. In the Select Index dialog, select the index of the information stored in the corresponding MIB node.

◼ Select Index
The MIB node selected in the MIB Browser dialog may contain multiple pieces of the same type of information. Of these, select the index of information to display on the MIB Monitor.

Table 5: Select Index
Item Name | Contents
--- | ---
Radio Buttons | Select the information to be displayed on the MIB Monitor while checking the MIB Variable and MIB Value. Only one index can be selected at a time. If you want to display the information stored in multiple indexes on the MIB Monitor, you need to repeat the selection of MIB node and index from the "Add" button of the MIB Monitor.
MIB Variable | Displays the selected MIB node name and index connected by a period.
MIB Value | Displays the value stored in the corresponding MIB Variable.
"Cancel" button | Stops selecting MIB Variables and closes the Select Index dialog.
"OK" button | Adds the selected MIB Variable to the MIB Monitor.

### Add Device

Select a subnet in the Tree view of the Tree View and select "Create Device" from the gear icon submenu to display the Add Device page.
The Add Device page creates a new device in the subnet under the management of the SNMP plug-in.

> Note

> > When manually adding a device, the MAC address, IPv4 address, and vendor name may not be displayed on the Device list page depending on the model. In that case, perform an Auto Discovery on the target subnet. Depending on the result of the Auto Discovery, the information is displayed.
