Using a MIB Browser

The easiest way to visualize VBrick's control structure is to understand the relationship between the IWS and the MIB. To get started, open the vbrick_box2.mib file in an editor or a MIB browser. For the most part, parameters are grouped according to where they appear on the Integrated Web Server pages.
