11.3   Extract SMI Modules from RFC Documents

SMI MIB module definitions are embedded in IETF RFC documents which also includes page headers within the module text. This extraction tool can read a RFC file or a directory of RFC files to extract any embedded SMI modules and save them into new files.

To Extract SMI Modules from RFCs:

1.   Choose Extract SMI from RFC from the Tools menu.

2.   Choose a source file or a source directory.

If two directories are specified, then the target file name is build from the source file name by appending „.smi“. If such a file exists already, then „-<n>.smi“ is appended where <n> is counted up from 1 to 999 until such a file does not exists.

3.   Choose a target file if you have chosen a source file or choose a target directory if have chosen a source directory.

4.   Press the  Ok button to run the extraction. A progress dialog will open where you can also cancel the operation if more than one file is being processed.
