About the MIB file

For Network IPS appliances, import or compile the MIB (Management Information Base) file to display the IBM® Security-assigned event name in SNMP trap messages.

You can import or compile the IBM Security MIB file (iss.mib) into an SNMP management application. The IBM Security MIB file defines the format of IBM Security SNMP traps. Your management application provides translations of the numeric object identifiers (OIDs) that are contained in the trap messages.

You can download the iss.mib file from the IBM Security License Key and Download Center at https://ibmss.flexnetoperations.com/. For more information about using your SNMP management application, see your SNMP management application software documentation.
