[NV-L] MAX-ACCESS in mib files

[Jane Curry <jane.curry@skills-1st.co.uk>]

Just a glitch I saw yesterday which may save other people pain....

I was importing  the  SNIA-SML-rev1-21.mib using NV 7.1.4 FP4 on AIX . 
It's an SNMP V1 MIB.  It loaded fine using the Web Console MIB Loader 
but would NOT load using the xnmloadmib (Options -> Load/Unload MIBs) 
utility.  It just hung and soaked CPU - had to kill the process.
After a large amount of trial and error, it turned out that there wre a 
number of MAX-ACCESS statements in this MIB.  Changing them to ACCESS 
made everything work fine.
Not sure why - mebbe James-the-MIB-guru has a simple explanation for us???

Cheers,
Jane
