Environment

NetIQ AppManager 6.x
NetIQ AppManager 7.0.x
SNMP Generic Toolkit 1.0

Situation

Do SNMP MIBs need to be compiled for use with the SNMP Generic Toolkit?

Resolution

The SNMP Generic Toolkit loads and parses SNMP MIBs dynamically when the MIB Tree is loaded. This occurs when the first SNMP job executes after the NetIQ Client Resource Monitor service has been started on an SNMP Proxy Agent, or each time the AddMIBs or RemoveMIBs Scripts are executed and the Reload MIB Tree? option is selected.

To install MIBs on an SNMP Proxy Agent all that is required is the ASN.1 source text of the MIB file, along with any prerequisite MIBs that are needed. To avoid parsing errors, a MIB should be installed with its prerequisites in a single execution of the AddMIBs job.
