posted July 13, 2009 1:51 AM I notice that some standard mib files are pre-loaded in manager(also see http://support.dart.com/postings?topicid=6921 ). then do I need to add all mib files used in the managed agent to the manager? thanks! |

posted July 13, 2009 9:18 AM Hi, You are never required to load any mibs into the manager. Mibs provide readable information about SNMP objects, tables, etc., and OIDs to identify them. To communicate with agents, you are only required to know OIDs. There is no need to load mibs if... a) You already know the OIDs that your application cares about, or if it can discover this information by some other means (for example, user input, walking an agent's mib), AND b) You do not care about additional information (such as names or descriptions), or already have this information. However, if your manager is communicating with an agent that supports a particular mib file, and you want the app to know information about the objects defined in the mib file, then loading mibs is the best way to accomplish this. Hope it helps, -ken |
