Prime Cable Provisioning 5.1.1 Enhancements
Prime Cable Provisioning 5.1.1 consists of the following enhancements:
  •
  •
MIB Management Enhancements 
Following are the list of updates in Prime Cable Provisioning 5.1.1 for the MIB management: 
1.
MIB enhancements provide more management options for the MIB files used by the RDU server 
and the RDU server will load the MIB files available in the RDU database. In earlier releases, the 
MIB files were loaded from the file system (BPR_HOME/rdu/mibs directory).
2.
In the Administrative Web UI, under Configuration > Defaults > System Defaults menu option, 
for the MIB List field, a new button (Select MIB Files) is added to configure the MIB files from the 
displayed list that are available in the database instead of entering the file names manually in text 
box.
3.
In the Administrative Web UI, under Configuration > Files page, for MIB file type, a new quick 
view button is added to view the MIB file details (File Name, Module Name, Parent Modules, 
Referenced-by Modules).
4.
A new option -mib is added in runCfgUtil tool to validate and list the dependencies of MIBs. By 
default it will validate all the files available in BPR_HOME/rdu/mibs directory. If a 
filename/directory name is provided as argument, then it will validate and list the dependencies for 
that file/files available in that directory.
