It's best not to think in terms of "the MIB for a piece of equipment". Instead, take a step back, and think about the sort of information you may wish to report for each piece of equipment. Some of this information will be similar for the various types of kit, in which case you're probably looking at a shared MIB, perhaps containing tables with one row (or group of rows) for each piece of attached equipment. (Or else use contexts to have parallel versions of the same MIB structure). Some of this information will be specific to a particular type of equipment, in which case you're really looking at a separate MIB for that particular element. But think in terms of a collection of inter-related and cooperating MIBs, rather than one single monolithic MIB to cover everything. As I keep telling our students here - break it down into smaller (simpler!) sub-problems. That way your brain won't ache as much :-) Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
