5971.0. "Problem entering child SNMP entries on Iconic Map" by JULIET::PEPE_RI (Marvin K. Mooney, will you please go NOW!) Fri Apr 29 1994 20:06

    I am having a problem registering child entities of the of the vendor
    MIB dec for the GIGAswitch.  It seems like a size problem.  The dec MIB
    has a structure:
    	      sysobjid->bridges->gigaswitch->gigaversion1->...
    dec->ema->
    	      decMIBExtensions->elanext->...

    I can register dec, ema, sysobjid, but nothing beyond that point.  I
    also cannot register decMIBExtensions or anything below it.  Does this
    sound familiar to anyone?

5971.1The error message is entity not registeredJULIET::PEPE_RIMarvin K. Mooney, will you please go NOW!Fri Apr 29 1994 20:166
    I forgot to mention the error message.  When I try to enter say
    "bridges", I get the following registration error message "The entity 
    SNMP LOCAL_NS:.giga01.port1 is not registered".  "giga01.port1" is the
    entities registered name.

5971.2it works as advertised, but beware of bugSCCA::daveAhh, but fortunately, I have the key to escape reality.Fri Apr 29 1994 21:0020
I have gotten everything to work just fine many times with one exception.

To make this work, you have to register each step of the path
for every device.

If you have  AA->BB->CC, then for each instance of AA, you
must register AA <instance x>, and  AA<instance x> BB <instance y>
 before you can register AA <instance x> BB <instance y> CC.

The exception. 

 I fell over a bug in the Iconic MAP that only
allows you to register items that are 8 levels deep in the dictionary.
(left over from the days when the dictionary only supported 10 levels).
Most of the code was fixed to support 15 levels, but one place in the toolbox
was missed, so the map will crash if you try to register too deeply.
FCL will be able to register the object just fine, and a little bit
of editing in the MAP file will get it placed for you.  This was
fixed, and is the MUP code stream, I don't know if it ever went into
the CLD PATCH code stream. (Dont think so).
5971.3Registering all levels was the keyJULIET::PEPE_RIMarvin K. Mooney, will you please go NOW!Wed May 04 1994 18:396
    Your response was the key to getting the task done.  My memory was
    indicating that I had registered a lower level instance of another MIB
    without registering the upper levels.  In any case registering all the
    levels worked nicely.
