1. A method of editing MIB objects comprising:
- generating a graphical user interface to interactively edit a MIB tree including a number of MIB objects;
displaying the MIB tree in the graphical user interface as a selected graphical representation, the selected graphical representation being equivalent to the MIB tree;
providing editable fields of the selected graphical representation such that edited fields are mapped to the MIB tree; and
generating an edited MIB tree comprising the mapped edited fields.

Abstract
A method and system to provide a graphical user interface for manipulation of Management Information Base Objects is described. A hierarchical tree of the MIB objects is generated and displayed, so that each node of the tree can be expanded, contracted or edited. The position of the nodes on the tree may also be edited. A web page or a CLI command tree can be generated also displaying the editable MIB tree, and handler functions to implement the MIB functions may be generated.
