MIB Browser lets you monitor and manage any SNMP device on the network (i.e., file or database servers, modems, printers, routers, switches,...) by using the standard SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 protocols over IPv4, IPv6 or IPX networks. Along the standard SNMPv3 USM security model, MIB Browser also supports the Diffie-Hellman key exchange model, so that DOCSIS-based SNMPv3 agents (i.e., cable modems, cable modem termination systems, set-top boxes etc.) can be seamlessly contacted and managed.

MIB Browser allows you to perform SNMP Get, SNMP GetNext, SNMP GetBulk and SNMP Set operations. Besides, the software lets you capture the SNMP Trap and SNMP Inform packets that were sent from arbitrary SNMP devices or applications on the network.

MG-SOFT MIB Browser Professional Edition
Main window

MIB Browser can monitor several SNMP devices simultaneously and includes features like SNMP Table viewer, SNMP Table 'editor', logging capabilities, real-time graphical presentation of queried numerical values, scan for implemented MIBs in agents, comparison of SNMP agent snapshots, management of SNMPv3 USM users on remote SNMP agents, etc.

Generic SNMP Trace window displays SNMP messages exchanged between MIB Browser and SNMP agents. SNMP messages are displayed in raw hexadecimal dump format as well as in the decoded, human-readable format. Therefore, the Generic SNMP Trace window is particularly useful for debugging when developing a SNMP agent and for resolving problems when SNMP agents do not properly respond to MIB Browser's queries. The enclosed MIB Compiler lets you compile any vendor specific MIB file. The compiled MIB file can then be loaded and utilized by MIB Browser. Typically, MIB files are supplied by vendors of SNMP manageable devices, and contain description of the manageable object hierarchy and object attributes in the SNMP device. In other words, MIB files serve as a roadmap for managing that device.
