MG-SOFT MIB Browser Pro. for Windows
Product History

This page provides information about the major new features introduced in the last releases of MG-SOFT MIB Browser Pro. for Windows.

What's New in MIB Browser Pro. for Windows Version 11.0

 Full support for Windows Vista. MIB Browser as well as other MG-SOFT applications that install with MIB Browser (MIB Compiler, MIB Builder, MIB Explorer and MIB Update) now successfully run also on MS Windows Vista operating system, properly supporting Vista User Account Control feature.
 Applications can be run by regular users. MIB Browser, MIB Compiler, MIB Builder, MIB Explorer and MIB Update applications have been redesigned so they can be successfuly used also under regular (limited) user accounts on NT-based Windows platforms (Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista).
 Modern visual theme and enhanced visual appearance. By default, MIB Browser, MIB Compiler, MIB Builder and MIB Explorer graphical user interfaces display the Modern visual theme (a set of bitmaps for GUI components such as toolbar buttons, MIB tree icons, menus, etc., that affect the appearance of the application). Compared to Classic theme, Modern visual theme uses a higher number of colors (potentially up to 16,7 million colors). Additionally, on Windows Vista users can select between the Classic and Modern MIB tree and list style in order to experience either Windows classic or native Vista GUI look and feel in MIB Browser.
 Checking for updates. MIB Browser can automatically check for program updates in regular intervals and offer you the option to download the new version of the software when it becomes available. This way, you can always stay up to date with the latest release of the software.
 Enhanced SNMP agent profile management. The SNMP Agent Profiles window now provides also information about the status of SNMP agents (Up, Down, Error) for which the profiles exist. This feature lets you tell at a glance which SNMP agent is currently responding to SNMP queries and which not. Furthermore, SNMP agent profiles can also be saved to and imported from a file, so you can quickly and easily transfer SNMP agent access information from one computer running MIB Browser to another.
 Improved SNMPv3 USM user configuration management. MIB Browser feature for managing SNMPv3 USM users on remote SNMPv3 agents has been improved to allow user cloning and user activation being done separately and thus ensure a broader compatibility with different SNMPv3 agent implementations.
 Configurable date and time formatting. MIB Browser now lets you fully customize the long and short date and time formatting parameters that will be used throughout the application for displaying and logging the date and time.
 Support for INET-ADDRESS-MIB value formatting. MIB Browser now supports interpreting and formatting retrieved values of SNMP variables that use InetAddress syntax according to value of the relevant InetAddressType object.
 Significantly updated and enhanced user manuals and help files with numerous hints and usage examples will help you get the most from MG-SOFT's MIB Browser Pro. and other MG-SOFT applications.

What's New in MIB Browser Pro. for Windows Version 10.0

 SNMP agent profiles. To facilitate managing different SNMP agents, MIB Browser now lets you configure and use SNMP agent profiles. Each profile stores all parameters required for accessing and managing a particular SNMP agent on the network.
 Managing SNMPv3 USM user configuration on remote SNMP agents. MIB Browser provides a convenient and user-friendly interface for managing SNMPv3 USM users on remote SNMPv3 agents. The USM user management operations include 'cloning' SNMPv3 USM users, changing their secret authentication and privacy keys, as well as enabling, disabling and deleting USM users.
 SNMP agent snapshots. MIB Browser incorporates a new window for taking and viewing SNMP agent snapshots. An agent snapshot is a MIB tree-like presentation of MIB objects and MIB object instances including the syntax and values of object instances as retrieved from an SNMP agent at the given time by means of the Walk operation.
 Enhanced functionality of the Compare Agent Snapshots window. This window now lets you specify what object instances implemented in SNMP agents you want to compare. Furthermore, it lets you save the entire comparison configuration as a session for future use.
 Improved SNMP Trap Ringer Console. Improved SNMP Trap Ringer Console window design and layout contributes to increased SNMP Trap processing and displaying performance and provides a better overview of received SNMP Trap and Inform notification messages.
 Productivity enhancement features in the Remote SNMP Agent Discovery window. Now, this window lets you select multiple discovered SNMP agents and start monitoring all of them in Info windows or create SNMP agent profiles for all discovered SNMP agents with a single command. Additionally, the window lets you take SNMP agent snapshots of multiple SNMP agents or select two SNMP agents and compare them in the Compare SNMP Agent Snapshots window.
 Diffie-Hellman key generator. This new utility lets you generate the manager random and public numbers that can be used for performing the Diffie-Hellman key ignition operation when accessing DOCSIS-based SNMPv3 agents.
 Significantly updated and enhanced User Manual with numerous hints and usage examples will help you get the most from MG-SOFT's MIB Browser Professional Edition.

What's New in MIB Browser Pro. for Windows Version 9.0

 Selectable binding interface. On computers with two or more network cards, the user can select which network card (interface) should be used by MIB Browser for sending out SNMP requests.
 Support for the IPv6 protocol (Internet Protocol Version 6). MIB Browser can now perform all SNMP operations also over IPv6 networks.
 Comparing SNMP agent snapshots. MIB Browser lets you compare two SNMP agent snapshots side-by-side, showing all implemented object instances including their syntax and value. Snapshots can be taken either from two different SNMP agents or from one SNMP agent at different times.
 SNMP Table 'editor'. The SNMP Table View window now lets the user modify values of writable SNMP table object instances, and send the updated values to the agent, all at once.
 Add Row feature. In the SNMP Table View window the user can now perform SNMP Add Row operation in a straightforward manner.
 Support for the CFB-AES-128 privacy protocol. The standard User-based Security Model implemented in MIB Browser is now enhanced with strong 128-bit CFB-AES protocol.
 Enhanced functionality of the Generic SNMP Trace window. The window can now be configured to trace SNMP requests sent from any MIB Browser's window, trace received responses to sent SNMP requests as well as trace received SNMP Trap and Inform notification messages. Besides, the window now contains significantly enhanced viewer of captured packets which makes displayed SNMP messages even easier to understand.
 Enhanced printing capabilities. MIB Browser can now generate printout reports from various windows.
 Significantly updated and enhanced User Manual with many tips and usage examples.

What's New in MIB Browser Pro. for Windows Version 8.0

 Generic SNMP Trace window displays SNMP messages exchanged between MIB Browser and an SNMP agent. SNMP messages are displayed in hexadecimal and in the decoded, human-readable format. Therefore, the Generic SNMP Trace window is particularly useful for debugging and resolving problems when MIB Browser cannot properly query an SNMP agent.
 Diffie-Hellman key exchange method for managing DOCSIS based SNMPv3 agents, like Cable Modems, Cable Modem Termination Systems, Set-top boxes etc.
 SNMP agent scanning for discovering MIB modules implemented in a particular SNMP agent.
 More efficient SNMP table polling algorithm for a faster query of SNMP tables in the Table View window.
 User Manual with detailed descriptions of main features, guidelines for performing main operations and numerous useful examples.
