I want the whole MIB. So run "mib2c" once for each table. If you compile the agent to include all of these modules, then you will get the whole MIB. But it's sensible to tackle problems one step at a time. Implement the simplest table first, then add on the others in turn. Don't run before you can walk :-) > Absolutely. I'm going to do that next.

The hardest thing about implementing most MIBs is obtaining the underlying data that you wish to report. Turning this into SNMP is relatively straightforward, which is why it can be automated ("mib2c") The main bit that can't be automated is getting hold of the data in the first place. > I'm also having a real hard time trying to figure out how to get the if-mib > (ifTable/ifXTable) to plug into our system.

I'll pass on the ifTable implementation. That uses MfD which is not my pigeon.
