Probpme with APC MIBs

[Floris Somers]

Hi all,

HP SIM 4.2

I am trying to to an mxmib with the powernet367.cfg file that was compiled from the powernet367.mib file I just downloaded from APC.
Problem is, when I try to do a mxmib, I get an error:

IMPORTING CFG powernet367.cfg
Error reading CFG: TRAP-TYPE invalid severity Line:18,203
AN ERROR OCCURRED EXECUTING THE COMMAND

Does anyone have an idea what the solution here might be? I have attached the cfg file to this message.

Thx.
Floris

Line 18,203 in your attached config file reads as follows:

--#SEVERITY SEVERE

...which is not a valid HP SIM severity category. According to the MIB, it uses SEVERE, WARNING and INFORMATIONAL as tags to #SEVERITY. Do a global search and replace and change SEVERE to MAJOR and WARNING to MINOR. INFORMATIONAL is okay as it is used by HP SIM. More information on this at http://www.hp.com/wwsolutions/misc/hpsim-helpfiles/simsnmp.pdf on page 6.
