Beginner to SNMP for switches

Alex Kirhenshtein

You should restart server after compiling MIBs.
I've checked it now - looks like compiler have nice bug - it's unable to find files if input path ends with backslash. So correct command will be something like this:

nxmibc -d C:\NetXMS\var\mibs -o C:\NetXMS\var\mibs\netxms.mib -z
Compiler will update netxms.mib only if all MIBs are correct and can be compiled. You can also check modification date on C:\NetXMS\var\mibs\netxms.mib to ensure it's new. Output should be like this:

…
UDP-MIB
UPS-MIB
USEC-MIB
V2ADMIN-MIB
Wellfleet-COMMON-MIB
WWW-MIB
After server restart you should be able to pick your additional OIDs in "Create DCI" dialog (set DCI source to "SNMP" prior to clicking on "Select" button).

Thank you. Here is the next trouble:

i think it can point to mib's wrong syntax.
Correct MIB must contain UPPER and lower case.

But not all MIB creators make correct files, because not all NMS creators need this.

NetXMS compiler is created with most of IETF RFC requirements. And it blocks using of wrong or not fully correct MIBs.

QACit

Okay. The BGP-4 mib is a default mib with the NETXMS install. Can I just remove it from the compiler?

Alex Kirhenshtein

Problem not in BGP-4; it compiles just fine on clean system. Problem is somewhere in added MIBs (or buggy compiler). Anyway, error message is weird.
Can you please zip content of you MIBs folder and attach it here (or send it to me by mail: alk - netxms.org)?

QACit

About 2MB. Will send an e-mail

Alex Kirhenshtein

Yes, I've got your mail. There are some faulty mibs (and some are missing) - I'll try to clean them up today and send you response.

Anth0ny

2 Alex: can you create a repository for all your cleaned MIBs?
for future use...

I've just send you an email with corrected MIBs, please try them.

We are shipping most of them with release versions; you can also get them from subversion: https://svn.netxms.org/public/netxms/trunk/contrib/mibs/ (MIBs from this topic are not included yet)

Anth0ny

2 Alex: can you create a Public storage or a special theme for mibs?
we all (who use an SNMP) can upload additional checked (if it correctly compiling with nxmibc) mibs for future releases...
