XOS MIBs in seperatet Files

Daniel_Moll — Fri, 24 Mar 2017 21:00:00 GMT

Hello Community,

we have got a Problem regarding the XOS-MIBs.
All XOS-MIBs are just packed in 1 File.

The Problem we face, we can't import the XOS-MIB-File in our Monitoring-System, because the Monitoring-System only supports 1 MIB per File.

Is there a way to get seperatet MIB-Files?
Or do i have to seperate the whole File manually?(seems alot)

I hope someone has a solution.

Best Regards
Daniel

Hi,

if you install Extreme Management Center (NetSight) then you can find a lot of mib files called "Extreme-*". so You can "extract those from there".

you can download the Extreme Management Center here: https://extranet.extremenetworks.com/downloads/Pages/NMS.aspx

good luck.

Hi,

so I have to buy Netsight to extract mibs for EXOS???

And the 'mib-file' contains 74 mibs. How to I know what mibs to extract in NMS? Not
all use mibs starts with 'Extreme-*'. Why can't Extreme provide a zip/tar-file with
those mibs like every other vendor can do?

Patrick

No. You do not have to buy netsight. You can just download it. Sorry, i tried to help. Feel free to use other way. Good luck.

Hi,

you can't download netsight without a contract. If you buy a XOS-switch you are usually not allowed to download netsight. Even partners are not always allowed to download
things from extranet.

Hi Patrick. Please verify that again. I just created fake account on extranet and I can download NetSight. The situation is different for NetSight and Wireless and for firmware. Firmware and wireless is limited. Netsight is not. Z.

Hi,

cool. That's new. Last time (years ago...) it didn't work. I can even generate an
eval license (I didn't try but I see the button). And the download works in the
new portal two...

Hi Daniel,

here's a small script to extract the mibs:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# Patrick Koppen, GPLv3
# v0.1, 29.03.2017
#
# Usage: extract_exos_mibs < 22.2.1.5_MIB.txt

use strict;
use warnings;

my $line;
my $header="";
my $out;
my $filename;

while(<>) {
$line=$_;
if($line=~m/^\s*([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)\s*DEFINITIONS\s*::=\s*BEGIN\s*$/) {
$filename=$1 . ".txt";
open($out,">", $filename) || die;
print $out $header;
}

if($out) {
print $out $line;
} else {
$header.=$line;
}

if($line=~m/^\s*END\s*$/) {
$header="";
close $out;
undef $out;
}

}
close($out) if($out && filno($out));
