Transferring Avaya MIBs to network management stations

This topic provides information about transferring Avaya-provided Management Information Base (MIB) files from the Message Networking system to the appropriate network management stations (NMSs). See Simple Network Management Protocol MIBs for information on the MIBs used by Message Networking.

You must use your FTP software to transfer the MIB files to the NMSs. For information on how to use your FTP application software, see the corresponding FTP application software documentation. See Message Networking File Transfer Protocol Support for information on Message Networking's FTP support.

To transfer the Avaya MIBs to an NMS:

1. Start your FTP software.
2. Request access to your Message Networking system via FTP. You will be prompted for the icftp password. See Administering passwords for information on setting up the icftp login.
3. Change to the mibs directory.
4. Locate the MIB files you want to transfer in the mibs directory.
5. Transfer the appropriate MIB files.
