mxmib can't register 3com mibs

[Sandra Inderbitzin]

Hello

I'd like to manage 3Com-Switches with SIM 5.0 and therefor I tried to compile and register the several 3Com mib's in SIM 5.0. I compiled all mibs with mcompile and created the cfg-files. Then I ran the command mxmib -a to register the specified .cfg-file in SIM. But at this point mxmib returned the following error:

IMPORTING CFG 3Com0004.cfg
Error reading CFG: Filename incorrectly formatted. Line: 1.
AN ERROR OCCURRED EXECUTING THE COMMAND

This error appears with every 3Com-mib. The compilation and registration of other mib's (such as original rfc-mib's) functions without problems.

Thanks for your answers.

Best regards,
Martin

"Error reading CFG: Filename incorrectly formatted. Line: 1"

What does line 1 say? What OS is this on?

Here is the header of 3Com0004.cfg:

#-MIBFILE: 3Com0004.mib

A3COM0004-GENERIC DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN

and here you can see the header of rfc1215.cfg (it is possible to register this file):

#-MIBFILE: rfc1215.mib

RFC1215-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN

I can't see a problem in the format of the filename, do you?

Thanks

Hi

Looking at the date I hope you have fixed this by now, but just in case.

rename 3com004.mib to a3com004.mib

compile as normal and then edit the a3com.cfg and remove the "-GENERIC"

Good luck.

#-MIBFILE: 3Com0004.mib

A3COM0004-GENERIC DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN
