Cannot Import Cisco-General-Traps mib

[Josh Hansen]

I was able to successfully compile the Cisco-General-traps.mib in HP SIM v5 sp4 but i cannot import the cfg file into SIM. The error is "IMPORTING CFG CISCO-GENERAL-TRAPS.cfg Error reading CFG: MIB node has no parent Line 31 AN ERROR OCCURRED EXECUTING THE COMMAND"
I have successfully imported all of the prerequisit mibs. Anyone successfull in doing this or can shed some light on fixing this? Thanks

I guess you cannot import that MIB directly, because it has some dependencies.
I looked it up at the Cisco site:

MIB Name
1. SNMPv2-SMI
2. SNMPv2-TC
3. IANAifType-MIB
4. RFC1155-SMI Non-Cisco MIB
5. RFC-1212 Non-Cisco MIB
6. RFC1213-MIB Not Required
7. CISCO-SMI
8. OLD-CISCO-INTERFACES-MIB
9. OLD-CISCO-SYSTEM-MIB
10. OLD-CISCO-TCP-MIB
11. OLD-CISCO-TS-MIB
12. RFC-1215 Non-Cisco MIB
13. CISCO-GENERAL-TRAPS

Compile all of these MIB's in that order, and see if that works.

I have run into the exact same issue. I have compiled all the prerequisit MIBs successfully and get teh same error as you.
Line 31 seems to be right before the "linkDown" section starts.

::= 0
Right here ->
linkDown TRAP-TYPE
ENTERPRISE snmp

Same deal for me with the same HP SIM version...

Josh, Kevin & Chris,

I too have had a similar import issue but think I have it sorted. Some files seem to be incomplete.

It looks like each OBJECT IDENTIFIER line of the cfg file defines an object using another object - which has to have already been defined itself.

For example, if you had:
lgpConTable OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { lgpConditions 3 }
...you would want to see an "lgpConditions OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=" line somewhere before it.

I fixed my errors by opening other compiled MIBs (CFGs) that had loaded OK, found the definition line missing from my non-working CFG, then added it in just in front of the error line & re-import.
This sorted it out for me.

Hope this info helps. Good luck.

Gareth.

...also, this may help. All my import errors were caused by these two lines missing from the CFG files:

cisco OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { enterprises 9 }
ciscoMgmt OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { cisco 9 }


Hope the same fix works for you...
