MIB
Database Management
A Management Information Base (MIB) describes a set of SNMP variables.
It allows you to customize the server database to a particular device
like network switch or programmable controller. The server includes
a pre-built database with the RMON Remote Network Monitoring MIB
for simple administration of networked devices, plus a collection
of MIB files that might be useful for inspecting your devices.
You can initiate it in the menu "Edit", then "Manage Database(MIB)".
