Re: MIB for Dummies

Oups. Silly me.

Ok, translate works:

schamlian@ubuntu:/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs$ snmptranslate -m
+MPBC-RMH-MIB  -IR -On mpbcRMH-Mon-HPU-State
.1.3.6.1.4.1.4464.3.2.3.6


Now I cannot create the C file.

schamlian@ubuntu:/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs$ mib2c -c ../mib2c.mdf.conf
MPBC-RMH-MIB

You didn't give mib2c a valid OID to start with.  IE, I could not find
any information about the mib node "MPBC-RMH-MIB".  This could be caused
because you supplied an incorrectly node, or by the MIB that you're
trying to generate code from isn't loaded.  To make sure your mib is
loaded, run mib2c using this as an example:

   env MIBS="+MY-PERSONAL-MIB" mib2c -c ../mib2c.mdf.conf MPBC-RMH-MIB

You might wish to start by reading the MIB loading tutorial at:

   http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial-5/commands/mib-options.html

And making sure you can get snmptranslate to display information about
your MIB node.  Once snmptranslate works, then come back and try mib2c
again.

I also tried:
chamlian@ubuntu:/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs$ env MIBS="+MPBC-RMH-MIB" mib2c
-c ../mib2c.mdf.conf MPBC-RMH-MIB


I hope it is not a silly mistake again on my behalf?

Thanks
S.
