Hello, on an embedded system we had problems with snmpd starting, which we could track down to the mib_indexes folder/files. This is what happened:
1) system has some MIB files in some folder which is known to
net-snmp, no mib_indexes yet
2) net-snmp creates mib_indexes
3) we add some MIB files to the folder from 1), mib_indexes stay the
same
4) snmpd won't startup properly with the following error in syslog:
May 8 08:42:55 XXX daemon.err snmpd[366]: MIB search path:
/root/.snmp/mibs:/usr/share/snmp/mibs
May 8 08:42:55 XXX daemon.err snmpd[366]: Cannot find module (LLDP-MIB): At
line 0 in (none)
May 8 08:42:55 XXX daemon.err snmpd[366]: /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf: line 30:
Error: bad SUBTREE object id
May 8 08:42:55 XXX daemon.err snmpd[366]: net-snmp: 1 error(s) in config
file(s)
The reported line in snmpd.conf is this:
view public_view included LLDP-MIB::lldpMIB
LLDP-MIB is one of the MIB files we added in 3) but there's no entry
for that in mib_indexes.
Now my question: what is the designated way to update those
mib_indexes? Can net-snmp scan by itself somehow? How can that be
triggered? Or is this to be done manually by administrator?
I could not find any information on this topic in a web search or in
some manual. :-/
