    copied!<p>I have been trying to understand how to create a MIB : here what I did so far : </p> <p>I created a MIB, and tried to allocate values to new OID => fail</p> <p>Here is the MIB : </p> <pre><code>TEST-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN IMPORTS MODULE-COMPLIANCE, OBJECT-GROUP FROM SNMPv2-CONF OBJECT-TYPE, Integer32,MODULE-IDENTITY FROM SNMPv2-SMI; test MODULE-IDENTITY LAST-UPDATED "201112190200Z" ORGANIZATION "blah" CONTACT-INFO "please" DESCRIPTION "I am stuck" REVISION "201112190200Z" DESCRIPTION "initial Draft" ::= { iso org(3) dod(6) internet(1) private(4) enterprises(1) 39106 } testResearch OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { test 2 } testVar OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX Integer32 MAX-ACCESS read-write STATUS current DESCRIPTION "just for testing" ::= { testResearch 1} -- conformance information testMIBConformance OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { test 999 } testMIBCompliances OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { testMIBConformance 1 } testMIBGroups OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { testMIBConformance 2 } -- compliance statements testMIBCompliance MODULE-COMPLIANCE STATUS current DESCRIPTION "blah." MODULE -- this module MANDATORY-GROUPS { testGroup } ::= { testMIBCompliances 1 } -- units of conformance testGroup OBJECT-GROUP OBJECTS { testVar } STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The draft" ::= { testMIBGroups 1 } END </code></pre> <p>I then </p> <ul> <li>validated this MIB against smilint , </li> <li>put it in ~/.snmp/mibs/</li> <li>have the rwcommunity string for all host, with no OID restriction</li> <li>restarted the snmpd daemon (On Debian)</li> </ul> <p>So far, all good.</p> <p>I then tried to see if the daemon knows about this new enterprise, and I did : </p> <pre><code>snmpwalk -v2c -m +ALL localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.39106 </code></pre> <p>which outputs : TEST-MIB::test= No Such Object available on this agent at this OID</p> <p>So I guess That snmpd is telling me he can't find anything under this tree, because nothing has been set yet. </p> <p>So I try to set this test variable with snmpset on a shell : </p> <pre><code>snmpset -v2c -m +ALL localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.39106.2.1 i 111 </code></pre> <p>outputs :</p> <pre><code>Error in packet. Reason: notWritable (That object does not support modification) Failed object: TEST-MIB::testVar </code></pre> <p>I tried as well with : snmpset -v2c -m +ALL localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.39106.2.1.0 i 111</p> <p>and as root, but with no success</p> <p>But when I do a snmptranslate, I can see that the MIB is parsed correctly : </p> <pre><code> snmptranslate -Td 1.3.6.1.4.1.39106.2.1 TEST-MIB::testVar testVar OBJECT-TYPE -- FROM TEST-MIB SYNTAX Integer32 MAX-ACCESS read-write STATUS current DESCRIPTION "just for testing" ::= { iso(1) org(3) dod(6) internet(1) private(4) enterprises(1) test(39106) testResearch(2) 1 } </code></pre> <p>is it a bug? A known issue?</p>
