SIM and Blank mibs

Preston Gallwas — Mon, 28 Feb 2005 14:15:13 GMT

I used mcompile and mxmib to import NWSERVER.MIB which is provided from netware into SIM to see what other info I could get, but the mib appears to be blank when I view it with SIM. I did not get bad or failed commands when I was compiling it, either. Any ideas?

Some MIBs are for SNMP Browsers and do not contain trap information. Check to see if there are any trap definitions in the MIB. If there aren't, that explains it.

There are trap definitions in the mib. Attached is the MIB in question.

There are no trap definitions in the MIB. You are looking for something with a format like:

cpqHeCorrectableMemoryError TRAP-TYPE
ENTERPRISE cpqHealth
VARIABLES { cpqHeCorrMemTotalErrs }
DESCRIPTION
"A correctable memory error occurred.

The error has been corrected. The current number of correctable
memory errors is reported in the variable cpqHeCorrMemTotalErrs."

--#TYPE "Correctable Memory Error Occurred (1)"
--#SUMMARY "Total correctable errors = %d."
--#ARGUMENTS {0}
--#SEVERITY MINOR
--#TIMEINDEX 99
--#STATE OPERATIONAL

::= 1

I had the same problem ( posted earlier) with mibs for IBM Blade server, microsoft Wins, DNS , DHCP and Internet Mibs.

I compiled and registered ok but there were no trap definitions for them they were blank.

did a lot of research and came up with nothing.
