The 'mib2c' tool gebnerates a *template* for the code that you need. It can handle the basic structure and syntax of implementing the MIB, but it can't actually handle the task of retrieving the values themselves. How is it to know where to get this information from? That's your job. > Here my main concern is how do the values for custom fields get set. The template code contains the framework of the MIB implementation, including code to set the values. But this will typically be setting dummy or placeholder values. It's up to you to replace this with code that returns the *real* values - retrieved from your application. Have a look at some of the modules in the Net-SNMP source, to get a feel of how this might be done. Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
