What do you mean by "updating a MIB file"? Is this a standard MIB file, or one of your own devising?

In order to monitor and manage a device, there needs to be an agent running on that device, implementing the MIB objects that you are interested in. If these are "standard" MIB objects (i.e. defined in MIB files that come out of IETF working groups), or part of the UCD/Net-SNMP enterprise-specific MIB files, then it is quite possible that the Net-SNMP agent will already support these MIB objects. In which case, you wouldn't have to do anything further. If these a "private" MIB objects (or from a standard MIB that isn't yet supported), then you would need to add some code in order to handle requests for these new MIB objects. That code could either be included as part of the core Net-SNMP agent, or in the form of a sub-agent. Things would look exactly the same from the point of the management application. Have a look at the FAQ entry "How do I add a MIB to the agent?" for more info Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
