I don't understand what you don't understand about what I said. Perhaps I
am assuming too much history with NetView. Let me try again.
There are three MIB loaders/ browsers shipped with NetView 7.1.2. They
are all independent of one another.
The Java one, that you get from the NetView web console (which is entirely
written in Java), can also be launched from the UNIX command line, both
with and without a GUI. To launch without a GUI, type in
"/usr/OV/bin/mibloader.sh" . To launch with a GUI, so you see just what
you do from the Web Console launch, type in "/usr/OV/bin/mibloaderpanel"
and proceed from there. The only thing this loader affects is the Java
MIB browser, the same one you get from the web console. You can also
start it from the command line with "/usr/OV/bin/mibbrowser". None of
what you do with these affects snmpwalk in way.
The MIBs which snmpwalk uses are SNMP V1-only. So forget about loading a
V2 MIB from the command line, unless what you really have is V1-equivalent
of a V2 MIB. If you have such a thing then you may load it with
"/usr/OV/bin/xnmloadmib". Try it or see the man page on it to learn about
its non-GUI options. It's GUI is an X-windows GUI and not Java. Once a
(SNMP V1-only) MIB has been has loaded in this way, you may browse it with
the X-windows SNMP V1 browser, xnmbrowser. And you may expect snmpwalk to
return the MIB object labels rather than just the numbers of the OIDs.
But nothing you load in here will be picked up by the java web console MIB
Browser, which uses its own database of loaded MIBs.
The final loader browser is the old X-windows combination, xnmloadmib2 and
xnmbrowser2. One again, these are separate from the MIB database that
either of the other two use. Since this pair supports (most of) SNMP V2
as well as SNMP V1, you could load your V2 MIB with this pair and browse
it, but doing so will not affect snmpwalk nor the Java browser. This
pair is shipped only for compatibility with earlier releases, because the
" - - mib2Trap" option of the new Java MIB loader, is not as robust as the
old /usr/OV/bin/mib2trap command. /usr/OV/bin/mib2trap uses the same
database as this older pair. But they have been deprecated and will
eventually disappear from the product, once the Java loader is properly
enhanced.
So to restate my conclusion from before, there is nothing you can do with
your SNMP V2 MIB to have it affect snmpwalk. Nothing. To do that, you
would have to get a V1 equivalent MIB and load that with xnmloadmib.
I hope this is clear.

Subject: Re: [nv-l] Walking a new MIB
Is the Java one the Web Console MIB Loader? Thats what I used to load the
MIB and it was parsed and loaded without any errors. Should I try loading
by way of the command line?

Exactly which MIB loader did you use to load this MIB?
Only the Java one, mibloader.sh or mibloaderpanel will allow you to see
the MIB from the web console.
snmpwalk, on the other hand uses a completely different, and V1-only MIB
loader: xnmloadmib. It does not know about V2, so numbers are all
you'll get, unless you can load an equivalent V1 copy.

Subject: [nv-l] Walking a new MIB
Netview 7.1.2 on Solaris8 :: So I loaded a MIB into the v2 loader. Worked
fine and I didn't get any errors, also had previously loaded the
dependencies. When I log into the web console and attempt to walk the
MIB, I can't see it. When I us! e snmpwalk on the agent machine, it
outputs
the first few MIBs with the actual name, and the rest with the number. The
weird thing is I can walk the MIB using MGSoft. Did I miss a step or
something?
