Errors to do with modules when using net-snmp utils
- by bob
I was using the net-snmp packages that come with my linux distro (version 5.3.2.2), but wanted to do some work with the latest version of net-snmp (5.7), so tried compiling and installing the new source. It seemed to work ok but now I'm getting a load of errors when use net-snmp utils (snmpget, snmpset snmpwalk etc..)
for example:
$ snmptranslate -On SNMPv2-MIB::system.sysDescr
MIB search path: /home/me/.snmp/mibs:/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs
Cannot find module (SNMPv2-SMI) At line 6 in /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/SNMPv2-MIB.txt
Cannot find module (SNMPv2-TC): At line 9 in /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/SNMPv2-MIB.txt
Cannot find module (SNMPv2-MIB): At line 9 in (none)
:
<a lot of similar lines>
:
Cannot find module (NET-SNMP-VACM-MIB): At line 9 in (none)
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1
From this I assumed perhaps that I was missing mibs from the 'MIB search path', so I looked at the first error 'Cannot find module (SNMPv2-SMI)', however it seems to be in the right directory:
$ ls /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/*SNMPv2-SMI*
/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/SNMPv2-SMI.txt
And the same result for the other in the list.. so I'm wondering if anybody knows why it might not be finding the modules even though they seem to be in the search path?
