Is this meant to be a collection of individual scalar values? Is it one or more tables? If so, how is the data divided between the tables, and how are these tables indexed? The best way I've found for thinking about MIB definitions is as the equivalent of a formal design for a program. It's quite possible to write a MIB on the flym without really designing it properly first. And then write the design to match the program, to keep the lecturer happy:-) But for anything of any size, it's less work in the long run to come up with a proper design before you start coding - however informally this is layed out. Similarly, it's best to start with the MIB definitions (at least in sketch), and implement the code based on those. > I sheepishly admit I had hoped that 6789.6789 was unused... > How should I go about claiming a enterprise number? See www.iana.org and in particular http://www.iana.org/cgi-bin/enterprise.pl > Does this involve writing an RFC? Nope - you just ask for a number, and one is assigned to you. It's then totally up to you what you do with this OID subtree. I'm not sure what the current waiting time is. [Was this mentioned at the latest IETF, anyone?] The Net-SNMP project has got an enterprise number, which you might be able to use. Though we'd want to see a valid MIB first :-) Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
