21.11 Modifying MIB Browser Parameters

If you use the NNMi MIB browser (Action > MIB Information > Browse MIB menu) to obtain information about a node, and provide an optional SNMP community string for that node, the NNMi MIB browser uses MIB browser parameters located in the nms-ui.properties file for MIB Browser SNMP communication.

Important

If you do not provide a community string when using the MIB Browser, NNMi uses the Communication Configuration settings established for the node (if any). These settings are configured in the NNMi console using the Communications Settings view in the Configuration workspace. See Configuring Communication Protocol in the NNMi help for more information.

To modify the MIB Browser parameters in the nms-ui.properties file, follow these steps:

1. Edit the following file:

   • Windows: %NNM_PROPS%\nms-ui.properties

   • Linux: $NNM_PROPS/nms-ui.properties

2. Locate the text block containing the following line:

   # MIB Browser Parameters

3. Locate the MIB browser parameters located below # MIB Browser Parameters by searching for lines containing the following text:

   mibbrowser

4. Modify the MIB browser parameters by following instructions within the nms-ui.properties file.

5. Save your changes.

6. Restart NNMi:

   ovstop
   ovstart
