Great. Thanks for the explanation! That
makes perfect sense.

using mib2trap
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

[nv-l] Error when using mib2trap

AIX

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
