Issues with SNMP, MIBS and TKMIB in Debian Squeeze (OLD STABLE Lenny works fine)
Folks,
I have recently installed snmp and noticed that due to a license issue the MIBS are deployed in a different package called snmp-mibs-downloader that downloads and compiles the MIBs in our systems.
ii snmp 5.4.3~dfsg-2 SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) applications
ii snmp-mibs-downloader 1.1 Install and manage Management Information Base (MIB) files
ii snmpd 5.4.3~dfsg-2 SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agents
Neverteless I found the following issues:
1. It seems to be that some MIBs Object definitions are lost:
# snmpwalk -v 2c -c public localhost -m all

DISMAN-_expression_-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (20504) 0:03:25.04

me@example.org>"
I saw a few bugs reports submitted because of this, but couldn't find the solution.
Will this affect graphical reporting tools like Cacti or monitoring tools like Nagios?
2. TKMIB does not shows the whole SMI tree by default.
You have to manually go to MIBS->Load MIBS and put the path to /usr/share/mibs/ietf to be able to see them. Anoying.
3. Even though I have the following entries in my snmp.conf file, it does not load all the mibs modules and it is anoying to be adding "-m all" to each command so see a human readable output:
# egrep -v "^#|^$" /etc/snmp/snmp.conf
mibs ALL
mibdirs /usr/share/mibs/ietf:/usr/share/mibs/iana:/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp
# snmpwalk -v 2c -c public localhost

iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.2.1 = OID: iso.3.6.1.6.3.10.3.1.1
Could someone put some lights on this?
Thank you
