Hi Martin,

May I kindly ask you to read the RFC1155 and 1156... you will find a lot of 
information and most of the answers to your questions...
Readings about ASN.1

A good starting point for you - as far as I can estimate your know-how about 
SNMP - concurrently to reading at least these RFCs, will be to implement Getif, 
a free MIB browser on your PC and play a bit with it.

.iso.org.dod  (.1.3.6) is a path, not MIBS. Please do not confuse OIDs and MIBs 
: RFC 1155 says that 


"...   An OBJECT IDENTIFIER is a sequence of integers which traverse a
   global tree.  The tree consists of a root connected to a number of
   labeled nodes via edges.  Each node may, in turn, have children of
   its own which are labeled.  In this case, we may term the node a
   subtree.  This process may continue to an arbitrary level of depth.
   Central to the notion of the OBJECT IDENTIFIER is the understanding
   that administrative control of the meanings assigned to the nodes may
   be delegated as one traverses the tree.  A label is a pairing of a
   brief textual description and an integer.

   The root node itself is unlabeled, but has at least three children
   directly under it:  one node is administered by the International
   Organization for Standardization, with label iso(1); another is
   administrated by the International Telegraph and Telephone
   Consultative Committee, with label ccitt(0); and the third is jointly
   administered by the ISO and the CCITT, joint-iso-ccitt(2).

   Under the iso(1) node, the ISO has designated one subtree for use by
   other (inter)national organizations, org(3).  Of the children nodes
   present, two have been assigned to the U.S. National Institutes of
   Standards and Technology.  One of these subtrees has been transferred
   by the NIST to the U.S. Department of Defense, dod(6).

   As of this writing, the DoD has not indicated how it will manage its
   subtree of OBJECT IDENTIFIERs.  This memo assumes that DoD will
   allocate a node to the Internet community, to be administered by the
   Internet Activities Board (IAB) as follows:

      internet    OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso org(3) dod(6) 1 }

   That is, the Internet subtree of OBJECT IDENTIFIERs starts with the
   prefix:

      1.3.6.1

"

Best regards
JMJ

Objet : Where to find SNMP MIB files close to root?

Hi,

I installed "snmp" package under Debian which contains all the familiar 
utilities like snmpwalk, snmpget, snmpset, snmptranslate, etc. This "snmp" 
package depends on "libsnmp15" package which depends on "libsnmp-base" package 
which installs bunch of MIB files:

$ dpkg -L libsnmp-base | grep '/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/'
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-EXAMPLES-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-IPFWACC-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-DISKIO-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-VACM-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-DLMOD-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-SYSTEM-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-SNMP-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/LM-SENSORS-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-PASS-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-TC
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-MONITOR-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/GNOME-SMI
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-DEMO-MIB
$


However, looks like standard bodies(iso, ccitt) MIB files were not installed:

$ grep -i iso $(dpkg -L libsnmp-base | grep '/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/')
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-SNMP-MIB:-- returned to:
.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysObjectID.0
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-TC:--
.iso.org.dod.internet.experimental.nmrg.nmrgSnmpDomains.snmpTCPDomain
$ snmptranslate -IR -On -Td internet 2>/dev/null $

Where should one generally find those MIB files? Or do distributions usually 
provide a package which contains all the popular MIB files and also those MIB 
files which are close to root(for example SNMPv2-SMI.txt)?


thanks,
Martin
