Re: [nv-l] Avaya G3 Monitoring (resolved)

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

This is my second response.

I thought at first you were asking about
pre-reqs but then I started to puzzle over that error message and I couldn't
see how that related, so just for grins I downloaded one of these MIBs,
g3mib20_asn1, to see what it looked like.  I collect problem MIBs
as a sort of hobby.  I tried to load it and got the same error you
did about the parent not being defined.  
 Here's what the MIB looks like
at the beginning with lots of  definitions, the first

3-AVAYA-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN

    IMPORTS
        OBJECT-TYPE, DisplayString
            FROM RFC1213-MIB
        OBJECT-TYPE, NetworkAddress,
IpAddress,  Counter, Gauge, TimeTicks
            FROM RFC1155-SMI;

--  The following should be defined elsewhere
    iso          
  OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 1 }
    org          
  OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso 3 }
    dod          
  OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { org 6 }
    internet        OBJECT
IDENTIFIER ::= { dod 1 }
    private        
OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { internet 4 }
    enterprises     OBJECT IDENTIFIER
::= { private 1 }

    avaya          
OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { enterprises 6889 }
    mibs          
 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { avaya 2 }
    definity        
   OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mibs 8 }
    g3-mib        
   OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { definity 1 }
    g3proxmib        
   OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { definity 2 }
    
   
products        OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { avaya 1 } 
    def-products    OBJECT IDENTIFIER
::= { products 8 }
    g3-products     OBJECT IDENTIFIER
::= { def-products 1 }


Now what the error message "Line
0: Error defining object ": Parent" not defined." is
trying to tell you is that we don't know where to start putting all these
definitions.  That's because we already start at  the iso level
and you cannot redefine that.  So all you have to do to get this to
load (and any others like this) is to comment out the line which reads
        iso
            OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 1 }
by putting 2 dashes in front of it,
like this
- -        iso
            OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 1 }
and it should load just fine.  It
does for me.
 
In fact, everything down to the Avaya
enterprise is redundant and could also be commented out.  But its
re-defining the root of the MIB tree is why we gave you the error message.

Thanks Mahesh,
                    
         I attempted to load all the G3 mibs and
received error  Line 0: Error defining object ": Parent"
not defined.    I
assume it needs other mibs loaded prior to the G3's..  I have RFC1213-Mib
and RFC1155-SMI mibs loaded.. Thanks, Dave
