2356.0. "SNMP & Cabletron MIB" by ODIXIE::PEACOCKR () Mon Feb 17 1992 16:44

    I installed the SNMP module and MIB Translator Utility to use the
    Cabletron MIB.  Everything seemed to install O.K., but when I did
    shows on SNMP, I didn't get anything returned.  I read in the manual
    that SNMP looks for a community string, and that the default is public. 
    Not knowing much about Cabletron I asked my customer if he knew what
    the community string was and he said it was "cbtron".  We tried this
    and couldn't get it to work.
    
    I could get information from UDP, TCP and IP but nothing from SNMP. 
    
    I was using DECMCC 1.1.  Any suggestions on how I could get this to
    work or what I did wrong?
    
    Thanks,

	UDP, TCP, IP and SNMP are object groups in MIB II and have nothing
	to do with the Cabletron private mib. The reason you could not get
	any information back from the SNMP group is most likely because
	Cabletron has not implemented it. I do not think that the  community
	name is the problem. If it was, then you would not have got any info
	back for UDP, TCP etc.

	Before you start using the cabletron private mib with SNMP AM V1.1,
	please read note #1921.7.
