Thanks,  but can you clarify how you are using these MIBs, especially the 
IEEE802_11Draft6.txt one?

That's a draft MIB and should not be required by any commercial product, 
at least as I understand how the iso MIB tree is supposed to work. Because 
it begins,  iso(1).member-body(2).us(840) rather than 
iso(1).org(3).dod(3), it defines a proposed standard, like MIB-II, which 
when adopted by the ISO, should get moved over under another branch.   A 
commercially available product should either be using standard internet 
stuff (which is  iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1)) or their own private 
stuff  (which is 
iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1)). Most vendor 
MIBs are in this category, as is the awcVx MIB you sent.  That's my 
understanding at any rate.  So what is the draft standard for?

 It also appears that the copy you have appended has been converted by 
someone from its original SNMP V2 format into SNMP V1 format, and then 
heavily edited.  I have seen the original out on the Cisco ftp site but am 
confused about its relevance and usefulness.  Can you assist me?

Blaine -- 
Given that you had so  much trouble getting them, I'd say you should try 
posting them here, maybe as  .txt attachments. 
Surely others will  have the same difficulties. 
It's  either that or tell us in detail where you ftp'd and what files you 
got.

You need the 802.11 mib plus the Aironet specific  mib awcVx.mib. I had an
adventure getting these - on the Cisco site there  was a link to the 
Aironet
web site to get the mibs. This took you to a page  telling you that 
Aironet
had been bought by Cisco and a link to the page to  get the mibs. Clicking 
on
this link took you (guess where) - right back to  the Cisco page you 
started
from. I wound up getting them via ftp. I can  send the mibs to you if you
want.

I  am wanting to load mibs for a Cisco 350 Wireless Access Point. I am not 
 
sure what MIBS to load to make this work. Can anyone assist me with this? 
Thanks in advance.
