Also, you can start MIB browser from Tools menu:

Where are MIB files stored for IPNetwork Monitor?

MIB files are stored in the IPNetwork Monitor mibs folder, commonly under %ProgramData%\IPNetwork Monitor\mibs depending on the installation.

How can a new MIB definition be imported?

Open the MIB browser, click the MIBs button, then use Import to browse to and load the MIB definition file.

Why do some OIDs appear as numbers instead of names?

The needed MIB definition is missing or not loaded, so IPNetwork Monitor can display the OID only as its numeric path.
