Abstract
Certain aspects direct to systems and methods for network switch management via a management controller using a management information base (MIB) to JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) parser. At a computing device, an administrator provides a MIB file corresponding to a network switch to be managed. Then the administrator utilizes a parser application to parse the MIB file at the computing device to retrieve Object Identifiers (OIDs) from the MIB file, and then converts the OIDs to JSON objects, in order to generate parsed information of the MIB file including the JSON objects. Thus, the administrator may use a browser to access a web user interface at a management controller to upload the parsed information of the MIB file to the management controller. The management controller may then manage and configure the network switch through a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) interface based on the parsed information of the MIB file.
