Visual MIB Browser provides:

• VB scripting that provides an interpretive programmatic interface to the SNMP engine and other components of MIB Browser.  All the features of VB scripting are available plus you can send and receive SNMP requests and also interact with certain aspects of MIB Browser itself.
• A Browse Tree tab displaying all MIB constructs that have an OID assignment
• A MIB tab displaying all loaded and compiled MIB
• Simultaneous SNMP communication with multiple agents (including SNMP Trap / Inform reception.)
• Multiple query output Windows.
• A Notification Generator for sending "test" traps or informs.
• An import/compile facility for enterprise MIBs including automatic loading of MIB Import dependencies.
• A MIB Compiler with configurable sensitivity.
• A MIB editor Window, launched automatically by MIB Compiler's directive upon loading a MIB with errors. (includes error highlighting)
• A MIB compile error log, containing a list non fatal MIB errors detected at MIB Browser startup.
• A discovery tool for detecting SNMP agents on the network.
• A handy ASN.1 reference of each object.
• A MIB viewer Window for view a specific MIB in its entirety, selected from either the file system or currently "compiled" into MIB Browser.
• The ability to save and re-execute commonly used operations.
• The ability to save results for use by other programs.
• The ability to configure and detect alarm conditions, with alarm priorities and notify via email, trap or logged alerts.
• The ability to chart/graph results, saving them in a variety of formats.

With Visual MIB Browser you can:

• using VB scripting develop custom testing suites or extend MIB Browser's user interface and functionality or implement scripts that perform complex interactions on a group of agents
• Perform standard SNMP management functions on any object of pre-loaded rfc1213 - MIB-II, rfc1514 - Host Resources MIB or any imported standard or enterprise MIB.
• Monitor status of the network.
• Walk any MIB from any given object to another object.
• No need to worry about what type of SNMP operation to use.  Access data logically. Get scalar variables individually or by groups; table variables by rows, columns, individually or in their entirety via one simple operation or 'iterate' through a table row by row.
• Perform trending and monitor for alarm conditions with configurable thresholds.
• Track alarm history with the Alarm Log, send an email to one or more recipients or a SNMP notification (trap or inform) when logging specific, configurable alarm types.
• Keep a log of SNMP v1 or v2 Traps or Informs Received or Sent.
• Save common operations as macros and invoke them from a shortcut command line, or later from a menu.
• Hide and unhide processing Windows for "background" processing of alarm detection, logging or charting.
• Search for/Find objects or Modules in the Browse and Modules trees.
• Goto to the first object of a MIB in the Browse tree, from a selected MIB in the Module tree.
• Plot multiple objects in a single chart.
• Monitor multiple thresholds in a single chart.
• Log communication failures with agents, to the Alarm Log.
• Create and manage an internal configuration database of agents, complete with individual session characteristics, including timeout, retry, poll period and authentication policies.
• Minimize MIB Browser to the system tray, to minimize clutter on the task bar.
• Execute commands and options on startup to enable multiple, "task" oriented configurations.
• Add MIBs to those compiled into MIB Browser with "drag & drop", pushbutton or File menu operations.
• Remove MIBs currently compiled into MIB Browser.

Visual MIB Browser Professional provides these additional features:

• Automated testing of SNMP Agent MIB implementations – two buttons: one to find MIBs implemented by the agent, second to invoke pre-canned tests that verify accuracy and completeness of SNMP Agent MIB implementation against its MIB document.
• SNMP CLI interface to the SNMP Agent
• SNMP Traffic Monitor capturing data from the wire, for display and storage in files for playback (public domain, WinPCap library is used to capture the data).
• full SNMP decoding of all SNMP packets which are on the network that the Browser is attached to.
• Support for SNMPv3 operations.
• Ability to run as an 98/Me/NT/2000/XP Service.
• An improved MIB Tab:

1. Show Loaded and Unloaded Modules, color coding those Unloaded Modules that represent different revision of the already Loaded Module
2. Select multiple MIBs simultaneously
3. Create and delete MIB groups
4. Move selected MIB(s), into groups, out of groups, elsewhere in the tree

• A MIB Components Tab:

1. View MIB nodes organized by components (TEXTUAL-CONVENTION, Notifications, V1 traps….)
2. Look up SNMP Trap definitions

• Support for rfc3413, Proxy MIB compliant agents.
• Automatic conversion of files names into module names for easier MIB selection and loading.
• SMIv1 Traps and SMIv2 Notifications presentation.
• Handling of notifications as per SNMPv3 specification.  As a SNMP entity, it implements SNMP-TARGET-MIB and SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB.
• Rich alarm handling capabilities: support for different alarm detection algorithms for charts, e.g. thresholds: rising, falling and rising or falling, value: change and no change, audio alarm notification when browser is minimized to the system tray.
• User definable, color coded alarm priorites.
• User definable, color coded notification priorities.
• Automatic resolution of IMPORTed MIBs.
• Configurable, continuous data logging in a database engine.
• Improved user interface and search capabilities.
