If you're adding MIBs to Ubuntu, the default directory for snmp mibs are /usr/share/snmp/mibs/, that is, if you have the libsnmp-base package installed. Just place the cisco mibs in that default directory and that should do it. Now, to verify that the mibs are working, you can use a mib browser such as mbrowse (apt-get install mbrowse). Make sure your /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf configuration file matches how you have your routers and switches configured for snmp.
with mbrowse, plug in a snmp-configured hostname, and browse click through the tree until you reach your mib, usually below .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9 note that not all OIDs in a MIB are supported for all IOS versions. cisco usually has a link for each IOS version and what MIBs are supported. once the mib is verified and working, use the check_snmp check_command in your .cfg files of the routers and switches you want to monitor. Hope this helps. If not, please pose a more specific question of what steps you are trying to accomplish.
