Re: [nv-l] Error when using mib2trap

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

Remember that mib2trap works on the
MIB file itself and not on the MIB database (/usr/OV/conf/snmpmib and snmpmib.bin
or snmpv2mib and snmpv2mib.bin).  He only considered what's the file.
 So he's telling you that he cannot resolve the textual convention
DisplayString.


The IMPORTS tell you that this is defined
in RFC1213-MIB.
 So you can get that file and concatenate this Dell MIB to it to create
a  big new MIB file, and run mib2trap on that, or you can just go
look in that MIB file to where DisplayString is defined and copy that def
into the Dell MIB before it used, before line 59, and all should be well

Subject	[nv-l] Error when using mib2trap

AIX 4.3.3 NetView 7.1.3

I am getting errors when loading a MIB for Dell but I am not sure what
the
error means. Anyone out there have an idea what this error is telling me?

Thank You!



/usr/OV/bin/mib2trap  DELL_10892.mib DELL_10892.mib.sh
         Errors - no script generated.
Textual convention doesn't map to real type.(DisplayString): On or around
line 59
Bad parse of ASN type definition(::=).: On or around line 59


Here is the MIB just a little past line 59
