Since SNMP V2 is a superset of SNMP V1, then of course you can load V1 MIBs with
the V2 loader.
But in NetView only the V1 Browser is fully integrated with the rest of the
product. If you select the MIB Browser from the snmpCollect dialog, or from
the Ruleset editor, you will get the V1 browser, since these two parts of the
product have not been completely updated to handle all the V2 constructs. So
until that happens you will need both loaders and browsers.
Most vendors will supply V1 copies of the V2 MIBS if you find that you need them
for these other parts of NetView. As I said in my append yesterday on 3Com
MIBS however, some vendors are still complaining about this, though it has
always been so.
Development is aware of the SNMP V2 deficiencies in NetView and will be
addressing these in a future release.

Subject: xnmloadmib and xnmloadmib2 question
Hi,
When I select Option->load MIB->snmpv1/snmpv2 in NV5.1.2 I use the
xnmloadmib2 command, the window title says that
it is an snmpv1/snmpv2 loader.
So it can load SMIv1 and SMIv2 MIB's?
If this is the case, the command xnmloadmib is obsolete.
Is this conclusion correct?
Does anybody have a straight answer?
Thanks
