Importing IP MIB into a UNIX environment

You can import the IP MIB into third-party network management applications, such as HP OpenView. By default, the IP MIB files are in DOS ASCII format that uses the following characters:

• CR/LF - Indicates the end of a line
• ^Z - Indicates the end of a file

However, in a UNIX environment, the characters LF are used to indicate the end of a line. No character indicates the end of a file. Thus, if you need to import the IP MIB into a UNIX environment, you must use a tool that converts the DOS ASCII into UNIX ASCII, such as the dos2unix tool.
