MIB File Location On Linux* Operating System:
After the Intel® SNMP Subagent is installed on the server, the MIB files (basebrd7_v5.mib will be located in /usr/share/snmp/mibs and /usr/local/snmpsa/mibs on Red Hat Linux* and similar locations on SuSE Linux*. In order to use Net-SNMP utilities such as SNMPGET on a Linux* console to retrieve data from the SNMP subagent on a server, copy the MIB files to the Linux* console, and run the command export MIBS=ALL from a terminal window to make the MIB information available to the utilities. Note that third party SNMP-based management clients may have specific requirements for MIB file location. Consult your client software documentation for any such configuration requirements.
MIB File Location On Windows* System:
The MIB files (basebrd7_v5.mib) are located in the same location the SNMP subagent is installed. The MIB files are not required by the Intel® SNMP Subagent for execution but are required for management applications that issue SNMP GET commands based on the MIB.
