5.6 MIF-to-MIB Compiler

This utility translates DMI MIF files to SNMP format and generates a map configuration file. The Network Management application (Sun Net Manager, Enterprise Manager, etc.) may use the MIB to manage the DMI-based component MIF. The mapper process uses the map file. The map file helps in mapping SNMP-based MIB variables to the DMI-based MIF attributes.
