See the file agent/mibgroup/default_modules.h in the source tree. This lists the modules which are included in both the default agent, and the mini agent builds. The mini agent is effectively just the SNMP and system groups, plus access control. > If I am correct i don't really need MIB modules to access data > as far as I know the correct nummeric OID. Am I wright? Wrong. "MIB module" in this context (sometimes called "MIB implementation module) is the agent code that provides the data for a particular set of OIDs. It is *NOT* the same as the "MIB file" (or strictly "MIB module"), which handles converting between names and numeric OIDs. > So basically the whole accessable data of the device would be available by snmpget. No. If you've configured the mini agent, then basically *nothing* would be available via snmpget. If the agent doesn't have the code to process requests for a particular object, it cannot provide the corresponding values.
