mib file configuration issue
I am trying to clean up a 3rd party MIB file so that it compiles
correctly.
The only error I am now getting is:
Did not find 'DisplayString' in module RFC1213-MIB
(/usr/share/snmp/mibs/mib.txt.002)
All the DisplayString settings *appear* correct to me, but as a newbie
there is obviously something I am missing.
Would someone please illuminate my dull brain please?
The RFC1213-MIB block in the mib.txt.002 is ~ 2600 lines long, so here
is a grep -n DisplayString mib.txt.002 output for that block:
4453: SYNTAX DisplayString (SIZE (0..255))
4495: SYNTAX DisplayString (SIZE (0..255))
4505: SYNTAX DisplayString (SIZE (0..255))
4517: SYNTAX DisplayString (SIZE (0..255))
4605: DisplayString,
4664: SYNTAX DisplayString (SIZE (0..255))
And line numbers surrounding 4605 to giver better context.
4600 IfEntry ::=
4601 SEQUENCE {
4602 ifIndex
4603 INTEGER,
4604 ifDescr
4605 DisplayString,
4606 ifType
4607 INTEGER,
4608 ifMtu
4609 INTEGER,

RE: mib file configuration issue
Made the addition as suggested: .. RFC1213-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN IMPORTS mgmt, NetworkAddress, IpAddress, Counter, Gauge, TimeTicks FROM RFC1155-SMI DisplayString FROM RFC1213-MIB OBJECT-TYPE FROM RFC-1212; -- This MIB module uses the extended OBJECT-TYPE macro as -- defined in [14]; -- MIB-II (same prefix as MIB-I) .. "Doubled the error" - so not I get: snmpd[21517]: Did not find 'DisplayString' in module RFC1213-MIB (/usr/share/snmp/mibs/mib.txt.002) snmpd[21517]: Did not find 'DisplayString' in module RFC1213-MIB (/usr/share/snmp/mibs/mib.txt.002) Does that mean the issue is in the RFC1213-MIB.txt file (it is accessible) or am I still not defining something correctly?

Re: mib file configuration issue
I would guess that you do not have a copy of RFC1213-MIB.txt in /usr/share/snmp/mibs or your MIB path for some reason does not include /usr/share/snmp/mibs. - Max On Fri, Mar 19, 2010 at 10:51 AM, Martz, Peter wrote: > Made the addition as suggested: > > > > …… > > > > RFC1213-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN > > > > IMPORTS > > mgmt, NetworkAddress, IpAddress, Counter, Gauge, > > TimeTicks > > FROM RFC1155-SMI > > DisplayString FROM RFC1213-MIB > > OBJECT-TYPE > > FROM RFC-1212; > > > > -- This MIB module uses the extended OBJECT-TYPE macro as > > -- defined in [14]; > > > > -- MIB-II (same prefix as MIB-I) > > > > …… > > > > “Doubled the error” – so not I get: > > > > snmpd[21517]: Did not find 'DisplayString' in module RFC1213-MIB > (/usr/share/snmp/mibs/mib.txt.002) > > snmpd[21517]: Did not find 'DisplayString' in module RFC1213-MIB > (/usr/share/snmp/mibs/mib.txt.002) > > > > Does that mean the issue is in the RFC1213-MIB.txt file (it is accessible) > or am I still not defining something correctly? > > > > > > From: Fulko Hew [mailto:fulko@gmail.com] > Sent: Friday, March 19, 2010 10:43 AM > To: Martz, Peter > Cc: net-snmp-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: mib file configuration issue > > > > > > On Fri, Mar 19, 2010 at 10:28 AM, Martz, Peter > wrote: > > I am trying to clean up a 3rd party MIB file so that it compiles correctly. > > The only error I am now getting is: > > > > Did not find 'DisplayString' in module RFC1213-MIB > (/usr/share/snmp/mibs/mib.txt.002) > > > > All the DisplayString settings *appear* correct to me, but as a newbie there > is obviously something I am missing. > > Would someone please illuminate my dull brain please? > > Your 3rd party MIB file should have the statement: > > IMPORTS > > ... > > DisplayString FROM RFC1213-MIB > > > > > > --- > > ; > > And of course, your MIB compiler should be able to find the file that > contains 'RFC1213-MIB' > > > > -- > Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval > Try the new software tools for yourself.

That is the crazy part is that I do have RFC1213-MIB.txt in /usr/share/snmp/mibs.

No. I said add the import to your 3rd party MIB. What you show above was
that
you added it to RFC1213 ('RFC1213-MIB DEFFINITIONS ::= BEGIN' gives that
away)
(Turning it into sort of an infinite include loop.)
what you should have are 2 files:
Your '3rd party' file that looks like this:
THIRD-PARTY-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN
...
IMPORTS
DisplayString FROM RFC1213-MIB;
...
myvar OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX DisplayString
...
And you also have a file for rfc1213 (which actually does contain):
RFC1213-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN
...
DisplayString ::=
OCTET STRING
-- This data type is used to model textual information taken
-- from the NVT ASCII character set. By convention, objects
-- with this syntax are declared as having
--
-- SIZE (0..255)
...

RE: mib file configuration issue
Actually, I did add it to the 3rd party vendor file (my snipit).
Yes I do have 2 files for this.
It looks like the 3rd party copied parts of other files (RFC1213 and
others) - which I can kinda understand (long story).
But this is the only error I get with the 3rd party vendor file, which
is what I find strange.
