The error message is :
"Error detected while loading MIB File: /usr/OV/snmp_mibs/hpicfoid.mib.
This MIB cannot be loaded until the following problem is corrected:
Line 10: Error defining object: found 'MODULE-IDENTITY'

Expected one of the following:
     OBJECT-IDENTIFIER
     OBJECT-TYPE
     TRAP-TYPE
     ::=
"

So I gather its a parsing error and perhaps the keyword isn't defined
anywhere, but I can't locate which MIB I should lod before that.

Here are the first few lines of it:
"  HP-ICF-OID DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN

       IMPORTS
           enterprises, MODULE-IDENTITY, OBJECT-IDENTITY
               FROM SNMPv2-SMI;

       hp                OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { enterprises 11 }
       nm                OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { hp 2 }

       icf MODULE-IDENTITY
            LAST-UPDATED "9809240004Z"
            ORGANIZATION "Hewlett Packard Company,
                          Workgroup Networks Division"
            CONTACT-INFO "Hewlett Packard Company
                          8000 Foothills Blvd.
                          Roseville, CA 95747"
            DESCRIPTION  "This MIB module describes devices in the HP
                         Integrated Communication Facility product
                         line."
"

I guess it would be a SNMPv2 file, however when I try to load it with the
SNMPv1/SNMPv2 command, the SNMPv1/SNMPv2 browser does not seem to load
properly. When I do browse the messages come up saying "Sending SNMPv1
request to x.y.z.a" and some time later it will come back with "SNMP Error:
SNMPAPI_TL_TIMEOUT - No Response before timeout" And the timeout is set up
60 seconds which is way above what I can telnet and ping to the device.

Thanks for you attention - much appreciated.

What are the problems you run into? What are the errror messages?

You can open the MIB file with a text editor and look at the header which
will tell you whether it is v1 or v2.
