MG-SOFT MIB Browser is available
in five editions on four OS platforms:
Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris

	MG-SOFT MIB Browser Professional Simulator Edition Available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris This is the most powerful MG-SOFT MIB Browser edition, offering the SNMP Agent Simulator feature, along with all other features available in all other MG-SOFT MIB Browser editions. MG-SOFT MIB Browser Professional Simulator Edition lets you create 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). You should license MG-SOFT MIB Browser Professional Simulator Edition if you are involved in any kind of SNMP agent development or testing, if you are an SNMP tutor, or if you wish to work with the ultimate SNMPv3 network management software.
	MG-SOFT MIB Browser Professional Developer's Edition Available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris Besides the features available in SNMPv1/v2c, SNMPv3 and DOCSIS/DH edition, the software includes Generic SNMP Trace feature. Generic SNMP Trace window displays the contents of each SNMP message exchanged between MIB Browser and SNMP agents on the network level. SNMP messages are displayed in raw hexadecimal dump format as well as in the decoded, human-readable format. Therefore, the Generic SNMP Trace window is particularly useful for debugging when developing or testing an SNMP agent and for resolving problems when an SNMP agent does not properly respond to MIB Browser queries. You should license MG-SOFT MIB Browser Professional Developer's Edition if you are involved in any kind of SNMP agent development or testing.
	MG-SOFT MIB Browser Professional DOCSIS/DH Edition Available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris Along the standard SNMPv3 USM security model, this edition supports also the Diffie-Hellman key exchange security model. With that, DOCSIS-based SNMPv3 agents (i.e., cable modems, cable modem termination systems, set-top boxes, etc.) can be seamlessly contacted and managed. You should license MG-SOFT MIB Browser Professional DOCSIS/DH Edition if you are involved in managing networks that contain also DOCSIS-based SNMP agents. Mostly, these are CATV data networks and other networks that include cable modems,....
	MG-SOFT MIB Browser Professional SNMPv3 Edition Available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris Today, when SNMPv3 protocol is at the IETF full Internet Standard level, and when more and more SNMP agents supporting SNMPv3 protocol are being released, this is definitely the most suitable edition for any network operator. You should license this edition of the software if your network does not contain any DOCSIS-based SNMPv3 agents and if you are not interested in the low level SNMP debugging that is provided by the Generic SNMP Trace feature.
	MG-SOFT MIB Browser Professional SNMPv1/v2c Edition Available for Windows only This is the basic edition of MG-SOFT MIB Browser, yet still extremely powerful, flexible and user friendly software. This edition supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c protocols and is available only for MS Windows platform. You should obtain a license for this edition of MIB Browser if the network that you manage does not contain any SNMPv3 or DOCSIS/DH devices and your platform is Windows.
