Bonjour,

Je souhaite récupérer certaines informations sur mes switchs mais je ne les trouve pas toujours pertinentes, pour cela j'aimerai interroger les mib "propriétaires" (est-ce la bonne solution pour récupérer d'autres informations ?), j'ai récupéré les mibs HP et visiblement il faut les compiler (les fichiers récupérés sont au format *.mib or dans /usr/share/snmp/mibs/ les fichiers sont en *.txt), mais je ne sais pas comment faire.


How do I add a MIB to the tools?
-------------------------------

Adding a MIB to the client-side tools has two main effects:

- it allows you to refer to MIB objects by name
(rather than having to use the numeric OIDs)
- it allows the results to be displayed in a more immediately
meaningful fashion. Not just giving the object names, but
also showing named enumeration values, and interpreting table
indexes properly (particularly for string and OID index values).

Most of the tools (apart from 'snmptable') will work quite happily
without any MIB files at all - although the results won't be displayed
in quite the same way.
The same holds true for the agent - see the AGENT section for details.


There are two steps required to add a new MIB file to the tools.
Firstly, copy the MIB file into the appropiate location:

cp MY-MIB.txt /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs
(which makes it available to everyone on the system)

or

mkdir $HOME/.snmp
mkdir $HOME/.snmp/mibs
cp MY-MIB.txt $HOME/.snmp/mibs
(which makes it available to you only)

Note that the location of the shared MIB directory may be different
from that given here - particularly if you're working with a vendor
supplied distribution. See where the MIBs are currently installed,
and copy the new MIB to the same place.


Secondly, tell the tools to load this MIB:

export MIBS=+MY-MIB
(load it for this session only)

or

echo "mibs +MY-MIB" >> $HOME/.snmp/snmp.conf
(load it every time)

This will add the new MIB to the list of MIBs loaded by default.
Omitting the '+' will *replace* the list of MIBs to be loaded by
the specified (colon-separated) list - together with any MIBs that
they explicitly rely on.
Note that the value for this variable is the name of the MIB
module, *not* the name of the MIB file. These are typically the
same (apart from the .txt suffix), but if in doubt, check the contents
of the file. The value to use is the token immediately before the
word DEFINITIONS at the start of the file.

If you prefer to have the tools load all available MIBs (which
may slow them down), then set the MIBS environmental variable
(or the snmp.conf token "mibs") to the special value "ALL".

Note that you need *both* steps.
