Thanks Bill. I wasn't even aware that they had been obsoleted. I just had a requirement to have our instance of snmpd return both IPV6-MIB and IPV6-ICMP-MIB. Now that I know this I can go back to the group that gave me the requirement and inform them. I do see that there is IPv6 info being returned to me in IP-MIB, which is good. > Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2011 14:25:42 -0400 > Subject: Re: Is it possible to enable IPv6 support without the pthread library? > > On Sat, Apr 23, 2011 at 5:28 AM, Dave Shield wrote: > > On 21 April 2011 21:49, Zack Little wrote: > >> The only thing I don't understand now is why IPV6-ICMP-MIB isn't being > >> returned.
