I give you more informations. Up to Lucid, installing the package snmp, a list of mib files was installed in the directory /usr/share/snmp/mibs
This list included a lot of basic mib files, allowing the user to poll those mibs. In Maverick, the direcory /usr/share/snmp/mibs doesn't exist any more. The behavior expected is the following, from command line: $ snmpwalk -v2c -c public <dns of a router, snmp able> ifName result: IF-MIB::ifName.1 = STRING: Vl1 IF-MIB::ifName.5179 = STRING: StackPort1 IF-MIB::ifName.5180 = STRING: StackSub-St1-1 IF-MIB::ifName.5181 = STRING: StackSub-St1-2 IF-MIB::ifName.10101 = STRING: Gi1/0/1 IF-MIB::ifName.10102 = STRING: Gi1/0/2 IF-MIB::ifName.10103 = STRING: Gi1/0/3 IF-MIB::ifName.10104 = STRING: Gi1/0/4 IF-MIB::ifName.10105 = STRING: Gi1/0/5 IF-MIB::ifName.10106 = STRING: Gi1/0/6 IF-MIB::ifName.10107 = STRING: Gi1/0/7 IF-MIB::ifName.10108 = STRING: Gi1/0/8 IF-MIB::ifName.10109 = STRING: Gi1/0/9 IF-MIB::ifName.10110 = STRING: Gi1/0/10 IF-MIB::ifName.10111 = STRING: Gi1/0/11 IF-MIB::ifName.10112 = STRING: Gi1/0/12 IF-MIB::ifName.14501 = STRING: Nu0 In Maverick, running the same command I get: ifname: Unknown Object Identifier (Sub-id not found: (top) -> ifname) It means that the mib IF-MIB.txt is not found by snmp.
