NMS SNMP Reference Manual
Introduction
This chapter provides a detailed description of the structure and use of the NMS
Software Revision MIB. Section 5.5 provides a list of managed objects contained
within the NMS Software Revision MIB, ordered according to the MIB structure
described in Figure 19.

Software Revision Representation
The Software Revision MIB represents all NMS software packages installed in a
system. Each file in each installed software revision is tracked in the MIB. The
Software Revision agent keeps the MIB up-to-date as packages are installed or
removed.
Note:
The agent cannot track revisions of NMS files manually copied to or
deleted from a system (that is, without use of NMS installation software).
To keep the MIB up to date, the Software Revision agent relies on information
from the module identification signature files (.sgn files) installed with each
Natural Access product. These files are stored in the \nms\bin directory
(/opt/nms/bin under UNIX). When the Natural Access Server (ctdaemon) is
restarted, the Software Revision agent modifies the MIB to match the current set
of signature files.
Note:
Certain NMS patches do not install their .sgn files in the \nms\bin or
directory. If the .sgn file is not installed in one of these
directories, locate the file and manually copy it to the correct directory.
The MIB cannot track a patch unless its .sgn file is in the correct
directory.
