>    What MIBs are supported by the eSNMP s/w on Unix V3.2g ?
    
eSNMP is an extensible agent, so any MIB may be supported at any
particular site and time.

The MIBs that we support in the base os kit, for 3.2g, are
mib-2 (RFC1213), fddi (RFC1285), tokenring (RFC1231), and 
host resources (RFC1514).

There are probably others, supported by various other products/groups
(for instance, via Performance Manager, etc) but I can't really
speak to that.

If you're asking "what is supported out of the box by a vanilla
Digital UNIX v3.2g installation?", I think the answer is the 4
MIBs listed above.

(If that's incorrect, hopefully folks who know better will jump
in here.)

    Where can I find a description of what each of these MIBs contains? I
    want tomonitor some systems using snmp calls (getone getmany) but dont
    know what to ask for.

Ron,

	for the standard (e.g. RFC based) mibs you can
	read the associated RFCs (available at
	http://www-tso.rto.dec.com/rfc-gate/) .
	If you do have access to a NetView system you can easily
	browse the MIBs using the MIB browser and build your
	own SNMP applications by using the MIB application
	builder .

Hth,
	Jan

    I have a customer that says his box responds to MIB-II variable but not
    the host resources MIB variables. Is there any missing optional s/w
    that would explain why only MIB II responds ? Do the other MIB's need
    to be installed ?
    
    Thanks Richard

Can you find out exactly what your customer is asking for?
We don't support the (optional) installed software group
of Host MIB.  But if they aren't getting *anything* out of that
MIB, on 3.2g or later, something's wrong.
