Edit SnmpOid & Mac Addresses Databases
To modify the sysObjectID or the MAC addresses databases, select the menu
The following fields and buttons are available (fields change according the the current database):
- Active Database: edit the SNMP OID or MAC Addresses database.
- <<, <, >, >> buttons: move to First, Previous, Next, or Last record
- Find: enter a value to be searched in the database, using the current index in the current database
- New, Del: Add or Delete a record
- Save, Abort: these buttons are enabled when one or more fields in the current record have been modified. They let you accept or cancel changes.
- Sort by OID/MAC or Company: the current field used to sort the database. Used by Find and other movement keys.
- Reorganize: Sorts and saves the two databases
- Import: Import data from a formatted text file (.csv).
- Export: Export data to a formatted text file (.csv).
In version 3.1 and higher, the SNMP and MAC databases are physically implemented as two compressed files that cannot be read outside the program. Using the Export and Import buttons allows records from previous versions (2.0x and 3.0) to be added.
When you use the import function, all records from the text file are added, and records with identical MAC OUI or SNMP OID in the databases are deleted.
- Importing from 2.0x databases: use File, Database to access the dialog, and press Alt X.
Alt X is a hidden key that will launch the Export dialog. Choose a name for the.txt file. Finally, use the Import button in 3.5.
- Importing from 3.0 databases: you do not need to export the files from a 3.0 or 3.1 version. They are already in .txt format that is compatible with 3.5. So just use the import them into 3.5.
If you upgraded from version 3.0 to 3.1 in the same directory, the files were renamed with an additional txt extension:
SnmpOid.dat is saved as SnmpOid.dat .txt and
MacAddr.dat is saved as MacAddr.dat.txt.
- Three fields must be defined on each line:
- An identifier for the record, depending on the current database
- OID: the company sysObjectID or the device sysObjectID. This value is added to the standard enterprise MIB.
For example, 43 gives 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.
43.1.2.3.4 would give 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.1.2.3.4.
- MAC: the MAC OUI (6 digits assigned to the company, without dashes). 080024 for example.
- Company / Device: a text field indicating the company name or the device name sysObjectID or MAC OUI:
- Type: Choose one of the 24 available types:
