Prepare a CSV Data Model File for the Custom SNMP Device
- You obtained the Management Information Base (MIB) file for the SNMP device. This is generally supplied by the manufacturer.
- You obtained the SNMP Data Model CSV file template.
- Use a MIB browser to analyze the MIB file and obtain the Object ID (OID) and Data Type information of the SNMP device. Each OID identifies a property that can be read or written using SNMP.
- Open the CSV file and edit the SNMP data model to define the data point types (DPTs) and data point elements (DPEs, or properties) for the custom device. See SNMP Data Model and SNMP Data Types Relationship as reference.
