4.4.1.4 The 'create-satnms.mib' Utility Program

Once the SNMP agent of the VLC / M&C has been configured and the server has been restarted, the agent is active and listens on UDP port 2161 for SNMP requests. At this point, calling the 'create-satnms.mib' utility program causes the server to write a MIB file which exactly matches the agent's internal MIB.

Using the the 'create-satnms.mib' utility program is as follows:

1. Open a telnet window to the M&C server
2. Log in as user 'satnms', password 'satnms'.
3. Type 'create-satnms.mib <ENTER>' to invoke the program

This creates the MIB file (file name 'satnms.mib') in the server's home directory. The file also appears in the 'public' share as a symbolic link, making it readable to other computers in the network.
