Hi Kaveh,

looks like APAR IY06997 which is fixed in NetView 6.0.1.

Kind regards

Hi,

In NetView 6.0 I've been trying to load some these 8 Cisco MIBs with the
v2 MIB compiler:
CISCO-CDP-MIB.my
CISCO-QOS-PIB-MIB.my
CISCO-RMON-CONFIG-MIB.my
CISCO-STACK-MIB.my
CISCO-STP-EXTENSIONS-MIB.my
CISCO-SWITCH-ENGINE-MIB.my
CISCO-VTP-MIB.my
HC-RMON-MIB.my

But for all of the MIBs above I get an error like this:
" Error detected while loading MIB File:
/usr/OV/snmp_mibs/CISCO-CDP-MIB.my.
This MIB cannot be loaded until the following problem is corrected:

Should be ACCESS({): On or around line 584
Bad parse of objecttype: On or around line 584
Mib table is bad."

I had a look at the MIB on the line given in the error; the line
was always   'SYNTAX  BITS'. The lines around it were like:
"cdpGlobalDeviceIdFormatCpb  OBJECT-TYPE
    SYNTAX     BITS {
                 serialNumber(0),
                 macAddress(1),
                 other (2)
               }
"

So I wondered if the type BITS is maybe not declared?
I don't think it is a syntax error because this would mean
the same syntax error in 8 MIBs.

Has anyone experienced this before?
I'd be grateful for any hints.

Cheers,
Kaveh.
