What I find out is that I need 1) .snmp\mibs directory with MYMIB files 2) share\snmp\mibs direcotry with standard mibs 3) setup snmp.conf for mibsdir and default options 4) setup MIBS environment variables to recognize MYMIB module.
Without any of these the snmpwalk can walk through the tree but without the value I'm expecting. That means running snmpget fails to get the values (scalar or table). I remember reading somewhere says the MIB files are not needed in clients, but it doesn't seem to work in my case. Any explanations? BTW > snmpwalk <options> client_pc <oid> client_pc is the IP address of the pc that run snmpd.exe, right?
