Historically, when I've added MIB files to my net-snmp installation, I do something like this:
(1) mkdir /opt/local/share/snmp/mibs/Cisco (2) cp ~/somewhere/* /opt/local/share/snmp/mibs/Cisco (3) echo mibdirs +/opt/vdops/share/snmp/mibs/Cisco >> /opt/local/etc/snmp/snmp.conf And, of course, sometimes I just execute Step #2, if I'm adding/updating MIB files to an existing directory. And life is good. But recently, I've found that the MIB compiler doesn't enjoy this procedure: guru> snmptranslate add_mibdir: strings scanned in from /opt/local/share/snmp/mibs/IETF/.index are too large. count = 25 MIB search path: /opt/local/share/snmp/mibs:/opt/local/share/snmp/mibs/3Par:/opt/local/share/snmp/mibs/APC [...] Cannot find module (SNMPv2-SMI): At line 5 in /opt/local/share/snmp/mibs/Xyplex/XYPLEX-IEEE-HUB-MIB Did not find 'enterprises' in module #-1 (/opt/local/share/snmp/mibs/Xyplex/XYPLEX-IEEE-HUB-MIB) [...] Instead, I need to add a Step #4: (4) rm -rf /opt/local/var/snmp/mib_indexes/* whereupon life goes back to being good. This is not a problem per se -- easy enough to add this step -- but the behavior surprises me: I've been using net-snmp for a decade+ now, customizing my MIB file collection, and I haven't needed Step #4. Is this new? A bug? Or have I passed some threshold?
