I'm not sure about using the remote hosts MIBs, I think the snmp protocol
is all numbers, and the client uses the MIBs to map numbers to names,
like DNS. But, it's been 5 years since I played with snmp, so I'm in no
way saying you're wrong and I'm right, I'm just offering what I remember.
-m MIBLIST
Specifies a colon separated list of MIB modules (not files)
to load for this application. This over‐
rides (or augments) the environment variable MIBS, the
snmp.conf directive mibs, and the list of MIBs
hardcoded into the Net-SNMP library.
If MIBLIST has a leading '-' or '+' character, then the MIB
modules listed are loaded in addition to
the default list, coming before or after this list
respectively. Otherwise, the specified MIBs are
loaded instead of this default list.
The special keyword ALL is used to load all MIB modules in
the MIB directory search list. Every file
whose name does not begin with "." will be parsed as if it
were a MIB file.
-M DIRLIST
Specifies a colon separated list of directories to search
for MIBs. This overrides (or augments) the
environment variable MIBDIRS, the snmp.conf directive
mibdirs, and the default directory hardcoded into
the Net-SNMP library (/usr/share/snmp/mibs).
If DIRLIST has a leading '-' or '+' character, then the
given directories are added to the default
list, being searched before or after the directories on this
list respectively. Otherwise, the speci‐
fied directories are searched instead of this default list.
Note that the directories appearing later in the list have
have precedence over earlier ones. To avoid
searching any MIB directories, set the MIBDIRS environment
variable to the empty string ("").
Note that MIBs specified using the -m option or the mibs
configuration directive will be loaded from
one of the directories listed by the -M option (or
equivalents). The mibfile directive takes a full
path to the specified MIB file, so this does not need to be
in the MIB directory search list.
Use those options above, and if it works, then you might have a typo in the
snmp config file, or maybe it's in the wrong location.
strace -o /tmp/snmpwalk.out snmpwalk blah to see what config file it's
trying to open.
