What's New in MIB Browser release 2021 (Version 19)
Dark theme.
The MIB Browser graphical user interface now incorporates also the Carbon visual theme that features dark colors. It provides a modern look and feel and may reduce eyestrain. You can switch between the dark and light theme at any time from the toolbar or program preferences. Alternatively, you can choose the option to automatically switch the theme to match the dark or light mode configured in the host operating system (on Windows only).
Values of not-accessible index objects are displayed in SNMP tables.
The Table View window has been significanlty improved and enhanced to make viewing and editing of SNMP tables even more intuitive. In this context, the values of auxiliary index objects, which are not accessible in SMIv2 tables, are now automatically extracted from the instances of accessible objects and displayed along the values of accessible objects in the table. This enables easier understanding of SNMP tables, especially when a table has multiple indices of different types.
Simplified creation of new rows in SNMP tables.
The Add New Table Instance dialog box has been redesigned to make specifying the instance (index) for a new row significantly more user-friendly, specifically in tables with indices of type OCTET STRING. In such tables, you can now enter the index value in plain text and the tool automatically generates the value in OID format for you. Also, in tables with two or more indices you can view the syntax of each index object, read its description, and specify the value of each index separately (e.g., by typing in the value, choosing enumerations from drop-down menu, etc.). Based on your input, the software creates a combined row instance in OID format. The tool also provides a hint about the required OID format and features a real-time OID validator providing an instant feedback if the entered index value is correct. In other words, creating new rows in SNMP tables is now considerably easier and does not require in-depth knowledge of SNMP.
Configurable color coding in Table View window.
The Table View window features color coding to indicate which table objects are creatable, writable, readable, not accessible, etc. Color coding is available in the normal table view mode, as well as in the advanced table edit mode (the latter incorporates additional coloring options to denote editable values and those values that have been already edited by the user). All table coloring options can be configured in the program preferences.
Enhanced Multiple Operations functionality.
Multiple Operations window now supports the drag&drop method of creating operations and adding variable bindings to operations. To create one or more operations, simply drag&drop a leaf or a subtree node from the MIB tree to the Multiple Operations window, and the software will automatically create the operation(s) for retrieving the relevant object instance(s) for you. Similarly, you can drag&drop trap or notification nodes to create corresponding SNMP Trap or Inform operations in the Multiple Operations window. Furthermore, creating multiple SNMP Trap and Inform operations with complete variable bindings lists is now a breeze. Simply select a node with subordinated trap or notification nodes and invoke the Multiple Operations command on it. This will automatically create multiple Trap or Inform operations for sending the corresponding SNMP notifications from the Multiple Operations window.
Improved application performance and stability.
Many optimizations and performance improvements have been implemented in the application. Furthermore, all known issues in previous versions have been fixed and overall stability and reliability of the software has been improved.

What's New in MIB Browser release 2019 (Version 17)
Receiving notifications using SNMPv3 USM + DH key exchange (DOCSIS).
MG-SOFT MIB Browser now supports receiving SNMPv3 Trap and Inform messages from DOCSIS devices that employ SNMPv3/USM + Diffie-Hellman key exchange mechanism. MIB Browser can either calculate the authentication and privacy keys directly from specified/generated Diffie-Hellman (DH) random and public numbers, or perform the DH key ignition operation with a specific SNMPv3 notification sender. Besides the conventional SNMPv3 USM user profile, the software now lets you configure an additional SNMPv3 USM+DH user profile for receiving SNMPv3 notifications.
SNMP Agent Simulator supports simulating DOCSIS/DH SNMPv3 agents.
The built-in SNMP Agent Simulator has been extended and improved and now enables simulating an SNMP agent that supports also SNMPv3 USM with Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm. This enables simulating DOCSIS SNMP devices like cable modems, CMTS, etc. using SNMPv3 over UDP and TCP over IPv4 and IPv6 transport protocols.
MIB Node Properties window displays composed syntax (TC) information.
In cases when a MIB object uses a composed syntax defined in MIB by means of a TEXTUAL-CONVENTION (TC) macro, the information about the given TC, like the valid values (integer-enumerations), valid sizes and display-hint is shown in the MIB Node Properties window when viewing the properties of an object that utilizes this TC. Having this information at hand is particularly convenient when modifying the values of the respective MIB object by means of SNMP Set operation.
Extended collection of standard MIB files.
The software now ships with an updated collection of 384 standard MIB files, which we extracted from RFC documents, up to the most recent RFC document at the time of publishing, RFC 8521.

MIB Browser and MIB Compiler are now also supported on the recent Mac OS X operating systems (up to Mac OS X v10.11.x El Capitan) and Linux operating systems.

Transport Security Model (TSM) with TLS and DTLS secure transports.
Besides the standard SNMPv3 User-based Security Model (USM), MG-SOFT MIB Browser now implements also the Transport Security Model (TSM), and supports SNMPv3 over TLS and SNMPv3 over DTLS protocol, as specified in RFC 6353. All retrieval and modification operations supported by MIB Browser can now be performed also by using SNMP over (D)TLS. (D)TLS provides authentication, data integrity, and privacy at the transport layer by establishing a secure "tunnel" between two SNMP entities, over which SNMP messages are exchanged. SNMP over (D)TLS enables leveraging the organization's existing X.509 public key infrastructure for SNMP management and can be configured to employ stronger security than SNMPv3 USM.
SNMP over TCP.
In addition to connectionless UDP transport protocol, MIB Browser now supports performing all SNMP operations also over connection- oriented TCP transport that ensures reliable data delivery, automatically handling packet retransmissions, reordering and errors on the transport level. One can now use TCP transport with all supported versions of the SNMP protocol (SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, SNMPv3 USM, and SNMPv3 TSM (via TLS)). Using SNMP over TCP may be more efficient than SNMP over UDP, especially when transferring bulk data using large SNMP packets.
DPI-aware GUI for best user experience on modern displays (UHD/4K-ready).
MIB Browser and all bundled applications (Visual MIB Builder, MIB Explorer, MIB Compiler) are now "aware" of the system display DPI settings (on Windows and Mac OS) and automatically scale the size of their GUI components (dialogs, buttons, icons) and text accordingly to achieve the best visibility and usability also on today's high pixel density (HiDPI) displays.
MIB tree node colors reflect the node access type.
By default, MIB tree node names are now colored according to the node access/max.access value defined in the MIB (e.g. read-only, read-write, read-create, not-accessible,...). This way, you can tell at a glance which nodes (i.e., corresponding MIB object instances) are writable, creatable, not accessible, etc., without having to examine the detailed node properties to obtain this information. Node access colors can be adjusted to your taste in the program preferences.
Enhanced documentation.
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.

Enhanced internationalization with Unicode support (UTF-8 encoding).
All files produced by MIB Browser are now in XML format and support Unicode characters. Unicode character set is universally supported throughout the application, i.e., in the MIB Browser GUI, internal setting files, and files that can be saved and opened in MIB Browser (e.g., agent snapshot files, agent profiles files, multiple operations files, multiple variable bindings files, trap ringer files, generic SNMP trace files, etc.).
Live Search – incremental searching and filtering facility.
The Live Search (search-as-you-type) feature is available in a number of MIB Browser windows, e.g., in the main window - MIB tab, Trap Ringer Console window, Generic SNMP Trace window, Discovery window, etc. Finding, for example, a desired MIB module or a specific Trap type in a large list has never been so quick and easy. Just type a few characters from the MIB or Trap name into the Live Search box and the software will automatically search for and display only those items that contain the entered characters, actively filtering also all new items (e.g., newly received SNMP notifications, etc.). The Live Search tool will increase your productivity and user experience by letting you complete your daily tasks in a more effective and convenient manner.
Command line interface (CLI) for performing SNMP querying operations.
A convenient command line interface is now embedded into the MIB Browser main window. It lets you effortlessly retrieve the desired information from any SNMP device by entering the SNMP operation type and requested OID (e.g., "get sysUpTime.0" or "get 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0") into the CLI input line. Any type of querying operation (Get, GetNext, GetBulk, Walk) can be used on any OID implemented in remote SNMP agents, without the need to have the MIB module(s) that describe the respective OIDs. Furthermore, sending SNMP requests containing multiple variable bindings is also supported and recently used commands can be easily re-used by selecting them from the history list.
Significantly improved Performance Graph functionality.
Any number of Performance Graph windows can now be open concurrently, each plotting one or more SNMP variables retrieved from one or more SNMP agents in real-time. Configuring a multi-variable graph is now a breeze: you can simply drag&drop desired nodes from the main window (MIB Tree) to a Performance Graph window. When adding columnar objects, you can quickly select multiple (or all) instances from the pop-up dialog to monitor these variables on the same graph.
Redesigned and enhanced Remote SNMP Agents Discovery window.
It now supports discovering devices in any IP range (e.g., larger than a Class-C IP range). The Discovery window also includes the new Search and Print features and a detailed discovery log. You can now easily scan your entire network to discover devices that support SNMP and then, with a single command, create the corresponding SNMP agent profiles for accessing all of these devices.
Resolving PhysAddress TC hardware vendor code.
MIB Browser displays a human-readable vendor name instead of hardware code wherever the PhysAddress TC is used (e.g. in 'ifTable'), etc.
Significantly extended collection of standard MIB files.
MIB Browser now ships with significantly extended collection of 335 standard MIB files, which we extracted from RFC documents, up to the most recent RFC document at the time of publishing, RFC-6780.

Support for Microsoft Windows 7.
MIB Browser as well as other bundled applications (MIB Compiler, MIB Builder, MIB Explorer and MIB Update) now successfully install and run also on the latest Microsoft's operating system - Windows 7.
SNMP agent simulator.
MIB Browser Professional Simulator Edition lets you take a snapshot of an SNMP agent on the network and then simulate this agent on the computer where MIB Browser runs. Simulating means that MIB Browser runs a separate process, which listens for SNMP queries on a selected network interface and port and responds to SNMP queries, returning exactly the same OIDs and values as the "real" SNMP agent did at the time of taking its snapshot. Furthermore, the OIDs, their syntaxes and values in agent snapshot files can be edited. This way, SNMP agent developers can effectively simulate an SNMP agent even before developing one.
Performing multiple operations.
The new Multiple Operations window mimics scripting in a sense that you can add any number of SNMP operations to it (Get, GetNext, Set, Trap, etc.), each containing one or more variable bindings, and then start executing these operations against a specified SNMP agent with a single click of a button. The entire list of SNMP operations and variable bindings can be saved to an XML file for later use. This feature can significantly speed up repetitive tasks, like configuring or testing SNMP agents, etc.
Displaying SNMP statistics.
The software now automatically collects its SNMP traffic and performance statistics, i.e., the number of SNMP packets received and sent by MIB Browsers since its startup, the number of requested and returned OIDs, the number of received and sent octets in SNMP PDUs, the number of sent SNMP Get, GetNext, GetBulk and Set requests and the number of received SNMP Response messages, etc. For each statistical variable, the SNMP Statistics window displays the total, delta and average values as well as the peak values.
Save SNMP Traps and Informs to a file.
The received SNMP Trap and Inform notification messages displayed in the SNMP Trap Ringer Console can now be saved to a file (either all or only selected notifications). Saved notifications can later be loaded into a separate tab in the SNMP Trap Ringer Console for review or into the Multiple Variable Bindings or the Multiple Operations window in order to send captured SNMP notifications to the network.
Using XML files.
All files produced by MIB Browser (e.g., agent profiles file, agent snapshot file, generic trace file, etc), are now in XML file format. To ensure backward compatibility, previous file formats can still be loaded and used in the latest version of MIB Browser. Even Visual MIB Builder application now stores built MIB modules in MIB Builder XML file format (.BUIX).
Enhanced documentation.
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.
