If you really want to convert other people's MIBs yourself, then I
recommend you obtain "Understanding SNMP MIBs" by Perkins and Ellis. I got
my copy through Amazon two years ago. It is the "bible" as far as I can
see on the subject of the differences between the two and how one should
translate the different constructs. It has sections on how to go from V2
to V1, and from V1 to V2, for those who are so inclinded. It also has a CD
included which contains the SMICng MIB compiler, both in binaries and in
source, that can be used or compiled on various platforms. SMICng offers
V2 to V1 conversion as one of its possible outputs. Many vendor MIBs that
I have seen have a "compiled by SMICng statement" in them showing that this
is that vendor's compiler of choice, so you will be in good company.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [NV-L] Re: SNMP MIB 2 -> MIB 1 converter
Jane,
We are in the middle of searching this one also. Our Cisco rep has
recommended we investigate the following tools:
MOSY
SMICng
He also recommended looking at the comp.protocols.snmp SNMP FAQ Part 2
of 2
at
http://www.landfield.com/faqs/snmp-faq/part2/
Specifically Paragraph 2.30.04
Haven't gotten to the first part but will tomorrow. Just saw your
note and
thought it ironic that it's hitting all over the place at the same time!
Best of luck,
Bill
