Example Outputs from SMICng

SMICng parses SNMP MIBs to check them for validity and can also output information from MIB files in an easy to read and process format. This allows you to write a backend program that takes one the outputs from SMICng and create another output in the format that you need.

Examples include:

• the header files and skeleton code needed to develop an SNMP agent
• the header files needed to develop an SNMP application
• the data needed to present a MIB tree dialog box in a MIB browser
• reports describing implemented capabilities in agents
• reports describing requirements of management applications
• presentations of MIB information in easy to understand formats

SNMPinfo does not presently provide backend programs, but has worked with OEM licensees to create such programs for their needs.

Below are examples of the outputs from SMICng compiling RFC 1213 and RFC 1215. (These together are typically called MIB-II.) The line to create each of the outputs was of the form:

    smicng -f mibii-n.txt -n rfc1213.inc rfc1215t.inc

    where:
      "-f mibii-n.txt" - specifies the name of the output file
      "-n" - is the command line option to specify the "numbers" output
      "rfc1213.inc rfc1215t.inc" - are the files to be compile 

Output examples:

• mibii-7.txt - extended MOSY format
• mibii-8.txt - MOSY output
• mibii-dw.txt - picture output
• mibii-j.txt - list output
• mibii-k.txt - name output
• mibii-l.txt - simple list output
• mibii-n.txt - number output
• mibii-z.txt - SMICng intermediate format output
