Hi,

Have already completed this but all it seems to do is update based on the dfg files that link to the mib file.

3Com only suppoy the actual MIB, there is no cfg file.

thks

You will need to compile the mib.

run the command: mcompile for each MIB file.
Note: v2 Mibs may fail. if they fail take them out of the list of files to work with.
Each successful Mib will leave you with a CFG file. make a list of these files.
4) run the command: mxmib -a for each CFG file from above.
Note: Mib Failure is still possible. Make a note of them and return to troubleshoot later.
