You are mixing up two separate things - the "design" of the MIB objects, and the code that implements them. There is absolutely no difference between RFC1213-MIB::ifSpeed and IF-MIB::ifSpeed. They mean exactly the same thing - same values, same behaviour, same everything. There is no ambiguity. Think of the two MIB files as two design specifications. RFC 1213 is the initial draft, containing several chapters. IF-MIB has taken one of those chapters, clarified a few points and expanded it significantly. It's version 2 of the design spec. But if you ignore the new stuff added in this update, the sections taken from RFC1213 are essentially unchanged. So for that particular set of objects, it doesn't matter if you write code based on the original design (RFC1213) or the new version (IF-MIB). You are working with the same design specification, so the code will be the same in either case. > If I have not done any changes to the exiting net-snmp MIB modules, > will this issue be taken care of - or should I need to make any changes > to the MIB module for RFC-1213 not to return any value for the common > portion of the mibtree? You do not need to touch the Net-SNMP code, no. Things are fine as they are.
