Hello!

I am a graduate student at the University of Texas at Dallas, working on a 
project which involves:
1. Using Net-SNMP
2. Adding a new MIB file 
(http://www.mibsearch.com/vendors/Enterasys%20Networks%20Inc./mibview/UPS2-MIB)
3. Writing a web application to extract information (ex: upsSerialNumber, 
upsBatteryCapacity, upsBatteryVoltage etc) using SNMP backend

My development platform is an Arch Linux  computer with net-snmp installed. 
Followed directions from : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/snmpd

For adding a new MIB file, I followed instructions from here: 
http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/tutorial/tutorial-5/commands/mib-options.html

Thus I have copied the mib file into the following locations:
/root/.snmp/mibs
/usr/share/snmp/mibs

However I cannot seem to be able to get it to work.

When I perform the following operation, this is what I am getting


[root@alarm mibs]# snmptranslate -m +ups2-mib.txt -IR upsSerialNumber
MIB search path: /root/.snmp/mibs:/usr/share/snmp/mibs
Cannot find module (ups2-mib.txt): At line 0 in (none)
Unknown object identifier: upsSerialNumber

I also tried the following:
[root@alarm mibs]# export MIBS=+ups2-mib.txt
[root@alarm mibs]# snmptranslate -m +ups2-mib.txt -IR upsSerialNumber
MIB search path: /root/.snmp/mibs:/usr/share/snmp/mibs
Cannot find module (ups2-mib.txt): At line 0 in (none)
Unknown object identifier: upsSerialNumber
[root@alarm mibs]# echo "mibs +ups2-mib.txt" >>$HOME/.snmp/snmp.conf
[root@alarm mibs]# snmptranslate -m +ups2-mib.txt -IR upsSerialNumber
MIB search path: /root/.snmp/mibs:/usr/share/snmp/mibs
Cannot find module (ups2-mib.txt): At line 0 in (none)
Unknown object identifier: upsSerialNumber

What could possibly be going wrong?
