Within a given MIB module, *all* object names must be unique. Both the objects defined within that MIB, and objects explicitly IMPORTed. You can't have two objects with the same name, both referenced in the same MIB. > Hold moment.

Right. > One more question about MIBS. If I set the MIBS as MY-MIB and MY-MIB > refers the ifIndex from IF-MIB module. Mib2c will populate the IF-MIB It will load the IF-MIB (and any other MIBs referenced in the IMPORT clause). It will also load any MIBs referenced in the IMPORT clauses of these other MIBs, and so on until it's got a fully consistent OID tree. I don't know what you mean by "populating" the IF-MIB. > (to get information about the ifIndex) for generate the stub function > for MY-MIB, right? Based on my testing it seems we don't need to SET > the MIBS as "MY-MIB IF-MIB". Could you please give me a clear picture? Again, it's not really clear what you're asking here. But I *think* you're asking whether it's necessary to explicitly list all of the MIBs required (implicitly or explicitly) by your private MIB. No - it's not. The MIB parsing library will load the IMPORTed MIBs automatically. If that's not what you mean, then you will need to be a bit clearer.
