How to deploy updated MIBs for Avaya

[Cedric_Jackson]

What is the procedure for deploying updated MIBs for Avaya?

Hi Cedric,

you can upload the new MIB file into the :\Prognosis\Server\Configuration\IPTM\Avaya\MIBs directory. Be careful to back up any existing MIB files if they have the same naming convention.

Thanks!

While auditing the MIB files within the folder D:\Prognosis\Server\Configuration\IPTM\Avaya\MIBs, I see that there are a mixture of files that have the .my extension and the .txt extension.  Which is preferred, which is better?

Hello Cedric_Jackson,

Both ".my" and ".txt" file extensions for MIB files can be read by Prognosis as long as the contents are in plain text.

Please note:

• The OIDs used in the MIBs provided with Prognosis are read by Prognosis and then converted into Prognosis records by Prognosis code. This means adding a new MIB will not automatically cause Prognosis to create new Prognosis records (or fields) for new OIDs from the new MIB.

Thank you,
