| I believe the original quesiton in .0 is worded in a slightly confusing
way.
Let's try rewording that question and see where it leads:
does the MIB translation utility translate MIBs in the
format originally used for specifying MIB I or does it
use the new format used in specifying the latest MIB II?
The answer is the latter - it translates any MIB that conforms to RFC
1212, aka Concise MIB Format.
However, please note that *both* MIB II and MIB I have been caste in
an RFC1212-compliant format - there is a new RFC # (I forget the actual
number off the top of my head) defining MIB I in the new format that
supercedes (or does it supersede?) the original RFC.
For quite a while now, most people have been using the RFC1212-format
for specifying MIBs - only a few people have held on to the older, more
verbose format, and they'll likely change soon, when they realise the
benefit of using the MIB Translation Utility supplied with DECmcc!
