Description

genAristaMIBReport

The purpose of this script is to generate a CSV report for all the MIB files that provides a pretty spreadsheet of all the OIDs, types and descriptions by parsing the MIBs. The script also automatically scrapes the Arista website to download all the proprietary MIBs.

The main reason behind this script is that several customers have asked if a nice document of all the MIBs existed or not. While the source of truth for SNMP has always been to refer to the MIB files themselves for details of what is available, no convenient pretty document existed. The purpose of this script is to be able to generate such a document dynamically and easily.

By using the '-a' switch, it will also download the IETF and IEEE based MIBs and provide these too.
