Method for linking management-information database structure definition files, network device management system, and process program for linking management-information database structure definition files

摘要

If the definition of one MIB tree structure is dispersed across a plurality of MIB files, a desired object ID cannot be acquired without sequentially searching a several MIB files when the object ID is searched for. ;A management device 20 includes a file linking unit 22 having the function of linking a plurality of management-information database structure definition files (MIB files). The file linking unit 22 reads header portions of a plurality of MIB files 21a, 21b, . . . , learns the connection relationship of the plurality of MIB files 21a, 21b, . . . from the read content, determines the order of linking from the learned connection relationship, and links the plurality of MIB files 21a, 21b, . . . while reorganizing the content of each of the MIB files 21a, 21b, . . . , thereby obtaining a single file MIB (linked MIB file) 23.
