I wondered about that (getting the complete MIB hierarchy and all the SNMP
values).
Running snmpwalk without any MIB listed would spew back a bunch of stuff,
but never seemed to be everything available (at least when I started
searching for things like diskIO, laLoad, hrStorage, etc). I'd end up
grep'ing through the MIB texts under /usr/share to find the tree I wanted,
and use that in the snmpwalk query.
Thanks for the pointer to ".". Very useful little thing. :)
