Using enterprise mibs with cmu-snmp?

Using enterprise mibs with cmu-snmp?

Post by Sami Lai » Wed, 19 Mar 1997 04:00:00



I'm trying to use MIB file distributed by Ascend in order to query some
enterprise specific variables from Ascend system. This far I've had no luck,
mostly because I don't have slightest idea how to get snmpget (from cmu-snmp
package) to recognize enterprise distributed MIBs.

Maybe someone could explain me how are MIBs added to mib.txt for snmpget and
other cmu-snmp apps...

Thanks.

To add an enterprise MIB you just strip out any Trap definitions from the
MIB file and cat it onto the end of the MIB.txt file that comes with cmu
SNMP.  The main file is under usr/lib but you can play with one in your
current directory until you get it right.  I have been able to add several
MIB definitions to mine but cannot get the very large ones to work.

1. Using enterprise Mibs with cmu-SNMP?

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
