I don't know  -   it's your box.
There's no good reason why it shouldn't.

But don't waste time asking here - try it for yourself, and see!

There's only one way to find out.
Set things up, have the Cisco boxes generate a trap, and see what happends.

There should be no problems with MIB format.

Just as I said on Thursday:

            Basically, just copy the new MIB files into the directory
            where the rest of them live.
           Typically this will be something like  /usr/share/snmp/mibs
           for a vendor-supplied setup

Is there a folder '/usr/share/snmp/mibs' on your linux box?
Does it contain various  ...-MIB.txt files?

If so, then get the relevant Cisco MIB files (either from Cisco direct,
or by searching on the Web),  copy them into this directory,
and re-start the snmptrapd service.
   Then you should be ready to go
