-About the MIBS distributed with Net-SNMP.
-
-This directory contains a very basic set of MIB files, ready for use.
-In addition, there are some scripts and table files to help you get a
-fuller collection of MIB files.
-
-smistrip - a script that can extract a MIB file from an RFC (or I-D)
-mibfetch - a script that will fetch an RFC file from a mirror, and extract
- the hosted MIB from it. It assumes that you have wget installed.
-rfclist - a list of RFC numbers and corresponding MIB name(s)
-ianalist - a list of files at the IANA server that holds IANA maintained
- MIBs
-Makefile.mib - rules for extracting current MIB files from RFC and IANA
- files.
-rfcmibs.diff - a set of required patches for MIB files extracted from RFCs
-
-The file Makefile.mib holds rules that fetch and extract MIB files from
-their hosting RFCs. Make will use wget to retrieve the RFC files, and,
-as I am located in Denmark, use the RFC mirror at NORDUnet. You may change
-that at the top of Makefile.mib.
-
-Makefile.mib also holds rules that will collect all the current IETF MIB
-definitions, using the lists in rfclist and ianalist. To get them all,
-use
- make -f Makefile.mib allmibs
-
-Note, that there are a few fatal syntactic errors in some of the RFC
-definitions. To make them all parse successfully with the Net-SNMP parser,
-you should apply the patches in the file rfcmibs.diff. These patches are
-typical for the problems that are commonly seen with MIB files from various
-sources:
-
-- forgetting to import enterprises/mib-2/transmission from SNMPv2-SMI
-- thinking that a -- comment ends at end-of-line, not at the next --
-- using _ in identifiers. A - may be used in its place
-- various misspellings
-
-There is a short-cut rule
- make -f Makefile.mib rfc
-that will also apply the patches. Note that Makefile.mib and smistrip has
-configurable versions of awk and patch. If you are running Solaris you
-must set these to nawk and gpatch respectively.
-
-DISCLAIMER: The patches provided here for the IETF standard MIB files
-are not endorsed by anyone, and I don't guarantee that they bring them
-accordance with what the authors intended. All I will promise, is that
-the MIB files can be parsed.
