There are a couple of things that can go wrong when you are querying SNMP values.
1) Incorrect Community name. When starting SNMPView you enter IP/hostname and community and press "OK". If you see a single grey icon in the resulting dialog then you have used the incorrect community name.. or specified a device that does not have SNMP running. If you see additional icons (one per interface) then you know that you entered a valid community name. 2) When you then right-click on one of the icons and select "View MIB" you will be taken to a view of that Interface. Are you seeing info in the right panel at this stage? You should be... it's all basic MIB info that is offered up by any SNMP device, no matter whether it's a Cisco router or a PC running SNMP on Windows. 3) YOu can then browse through your "MIB Groups" in the left panel. The tree is based on MIB.TXT. If a MIB is not compiled then it won't be displayed and you cannot browse to it. But the reverse is not necessarily true. You can browse to Lotus in iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises, but if the right panel is blank then it indicates that the MIB is not supported on the target device. You can double-check this. If you know a specific Lotus OID that you are interested in then try setting up a monitor in SNMPMon. If my hypothesis is correct then the WUG debug log will tell you the error that occurs.. "No such name". The target device accepted the query but cannot respond properly because the OID is not valid.

We are currently running Whatsup8.03HF1, and are having issues compiling mibs. We ran mibextra on a particular mib file, and get mib file proceessed succesffully(no failiures). But the "added" field stays at 0 and there no new definitions added to either Mib.txt, or Traps.txt or even to defs.txt. My vendor compilied mibs on his server, and whatsup was able to compile these properly. At this point I am trying to compile new mibs, from any vendor, and am not having any success. Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this issue? Thanks -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- This message is for the named person's use only.
