The MIB Browser page displays a MIB tree you can navigate to select OID values. The MIB Browser must be able to successfully connect to the SNMP agent on the remote asset or computer to retrieve and select OID values in this dialog.

Five filter fields are used to specify OID values and their corresponding values on a remote asset. If the connection is successful and the remote asset supports the selected OID, the OID value displays in the upper right corner when you click an OID item in the tree.

• Hostname - The name of the asset.
• Port - Defaults to 161.
• Gateway - The gateway used by the asset.
• SNMP version - The version of SNMP protocol used to connect to the SNMP agent on the asset: v1, v2c, v3
• Read community - The SNMP read community name assigned to the asset you are connecting to. Displays when v1 and v2c is selected.

Note: See Compiling custom MIB files to modify the MIB tree displayed in this dialog.

Selecting an OID

1. Click any OID in the tree displayed in the left pane to display the OIDs properties in the right pane.

   Note: OID values are only returned if a connection is made to the asset and the asset supports the selected OID request.

2. Click the Select OID button.
