Announcement: View MIBs as SVG (scalable vector graphics)

[Klaus Sperner <sperner@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de>]

Hi All!

During my master thesis (advised by Frank Strauss) I developed a new 
driver to the smidump program which generates SVG diagrams from MIB 
modules. If you are interested in getting an overview about a MIB module 
before you look at the details, this tool is made for you.

For a much more detailed explanation of the driver look at the libsmi 
website: http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/projects/libsmi/svg/index.html .
There you can find information about SVG viewers, installation and 
invocation and the generated SVG diagrams. Furthermore a web interface 
to smidump is provided which enables you to generate SVG diagrams 
online: http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/projects/libsmi/svg/mib2svg.cgi .

So I invite you to install a SVG viewer, point your browser to the 
MIBtoSVG web interface and play around with it.

Feedback is highly welcome, mail your comments and suggestions to the 
libsmi mailing list <libsmi@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> or directly to me.

With kind regards,
Klaus Sperner
