Steve,

I'm not proud of my solution to get the 8272 Mibs to load. It was reverse
engineering. I have three NetView servers. One of the three that has no 8272
devices on the net it monitors had all the MIBs and trap definitions. It was
NV for Unix 6.0. The "broken" server was a newly rebuilt NV for Unix 6.0.1.
I checked the xnmtrap GUI for the Enterprise Name and Enterprise ID on the
working server for the OID (e-ID).

To get the MIBs loaded I copied the snmpmib, snmpmib.bin, snmpv2mib and
snmpv2mib.bin files to the "broken" server from the working server. Then I
added all the now missing Cisco stuff added by 6.0.1. I merged the
trapd.conf files between the boxes.

Of course - I made backups and more backups before experimenting.
