The 'MIB Compiler' tab contains the parameters of the MIB module compiler:

• MIB repository path - the path to the folder where the MIB repository is located.
• MIB cache size - the maximum size of cache for storing the MIB tree.
• MIB cache purge limit - the cache limit, when this limit is reached the procedure of purging the cache is started. If the MIB cache exceeds this limit, WinAgents MIB Browser unloads the least used variables from the memory, thus clearing space for the currently needed branches of the MIB tree.

The 'Aliases' tab allows you to create a list of aliases for the names of MIB modules. You can create several aliases for each name of an MIB module. The MIB compiler will use actual module names together with their aliases while resolving links to files. And if the MIB compiler comes across an alias in the process of compilation, it will load the original file instead. It helps to solve problems with using non-standard names for MIB modules by some manufacturers of network equipment.

To add a new alias, you should fill in the MIB (the original name of a MIB module) and Aliases (its alias) fields and click the Add button. To edit an alias, you should select the corresponding button, modify one of the fields and click the Replace button. To remove an alias, you should select it in the list and click the Remove button.
