MIB Registration

[Clive Churchyard]

I have a problem registering an independant vendors MIB that relys on rfc-1212.mib - error message is 'cannot open rfc-121.mib'
I dont seem to have any luck with MIB registration as have had previous trouble registering updated mibs for Procurve switches.

I had similar problems registering one for a "Mirra" Server.
The original had:
IMPORTS
enterprises, TimeTicks FROM RFC1155-SMI
OBJECT-TYPE FROM RFC-1212
DisplayString FROM RFC1213-MIB
TRAP-TYPE FROM RFC-1215;

I changed that to:
IMPORTS
enterprises, TimeTicks FROM RFC1155-SMI
MODULE-IDENTITY,
OBJECT-TYPE FROM RFC-1212
DisplayString FROM RFC1213-MIB
TRAP-TYPE FROM RFC-1215;

Note the addition of the Module-Identity line. Now, why this is I've no idea, it just worked here!

...also, don't forget that Insight Manager 7 only works with version 1 MIBs.

Does rfc-1212.mib get installed by deafault with insight manager - i dont appear to have it in my list/folder of available mibs. Is it likely to be called something else and need renaming or where can i get a copy of rfc-1212.mib from.

Cheers

I'm not a MIB expert, but I think it's in IM in such a way that it can be referenced but will not show up in the lists.
I did not have to load the RFC1212 MIB, I just had to alter the MIB that was calling it.

Cheers for this but i still have no joy in loading this 3rd party mib even after altering the way it is called as described above error msg is cannot open rfc-1212.mib.
