How to add a vendor MIB in SNMPc

I downloaded a MIB from a vendorsite and need to add it in SNMpc. Do anyone have a step by step procedure ifor this process?

You compile the manufacturer's MIB in (You will probably need complete MIBs from the manufacturer for the device, properly formatted to do this -- for some devices / some manufacturers, this might be a problem).

Then once you have the MIB compiled in, you proceed to setup your device-specific reporting variables, MIB variables, and any trending charts, based on the information the device is capable of reporting and what you want to be reported.

The software maker has documents that explain how to do all of this in their knowledge base:

Not sure how the snmpc software was installed but it is not in the program files . Is there a nother way to add the mib from the map itself?

You can do a search in Windows on your drive for a file called NAMES.TXT. This is where SNMPc stores the list of MIBs to compile and is in the same directory as the MIB source files. You cannot add MIBs through the GUI, they need to be manually copied to the MIBFILES directory first.

All the steps worked for the MIB. End the end we just add connectors (relays) to the SMTP Servers.
