by Hi,
I followed the advice from Rick and pulled out trap info out of my
distributed 'ascend.mib' file and cat'ed it onto /usr/lib/mib.txt of
my cmu-snmp distribution for Linux.
It sort of seems to work because it 'picks up' the object-id name
even though i specify numbers in the command line of snmpget but
then it says 'no such variable name in this MIB?'..which is strange
because I can see it in the mib file.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Here are the
results that I get from snmpget:
ns:/usr/src/snmp#
snmpget ascend-host public .1.3.6.1.4.1.529.9.1
Error in packet.
Reason: There is no such variable name in this MIB.
This name doesn't exist:
enterprises.ascend.systemStatusGroup.sysAbsoluteStartupTime
