How do I load the Enterprise MIB from vendor X?

Strictly speaking, even if you loaded a MIB into Traverse, the web application would not know which particular OIDs to automatically discover, what to name the different tests, what unit to use while displaying results, or the DGE would not know how to process various pieces of collected information (e.g. convert bytes transferred into utilization percentage or Kb/s). You would need to look at each OID in the MIB, evaluate it's usefulness, and if you decide to use it, you would need to instruct Traverse on what post-processing (if any) needs to be performed.

You can always monitor any custom MIB by adding it in the Advanced Tests. However, it is preferable that you send the enterprise MIB to Traverse Consulting Services. They will work with you to add it into the Traverse auto-discovery library of devices. Once installed, the tests will automatically be discovered and monitored by Traverse.
