Importing Unified IP MIB into a UNIX environment

You can import the Unified IP MIB into third-party network management applications, such as HP
OpenView. By default, the Unified IP MIB files are in DOS ASCII format that uses the following
characters:

CR/LF – Indicates the end of a line

^Z - Indicates the end of a file

However, in a UNIX environment, the characters LF are used to indicate the end of a line. No
character indicates the end of a file. Thus, if you need to import the Unified IP MIB into a UNIX
environment, you must use a tool that converts the DOS ASCII into UNIX ASCII, such as the
dos2unix tool.

Reloading MIBs into a third-party NMS

Third-party network management systems, such as HP OpenView may have problems reloading
MIB files. Ensure that you must upload the following when reloading the Brocade Unified IP MIBs:

Unload the Enterprise MIBs which were installed from the previous upgrade before reloading
any new Enterprise MIB file.

Unload the Standard MIBs which were installed from the previous upgrade before reloading
any new Standard MIB file.

Standard objects

The Unified IP MIB supports certain standard MIB objects, which are derived from Request for
Comments (RFCs) documents. Refer to

Chapter 2, “Supported Standard MIBs”

for details on the

supported standard MIBs.
