Fair enough. I agree completely. Standard MIB-II objects should be provided with MIB-II Object IDs. If they provide "equivalents" only in their own enterprise object space, that requires extra work on the user to lookup and reference the OIDs. The right way would be to provided both a MIB-II set for all the "standard" objects, and an enterprise set for their unique radio objects. Any chance you could off-list email me the Trango MIB definition files to look at? I'd like to see what they've done.

I don't claim to be an expert on SNMP by any means. I just know that things like snmpwalk and MRTG's cfgmaker work with basically every network device I have, except Trango gear, without passing weird command-line options or going out of my way to install MIB files. If Trango wants to have their own MIBs for things like RF levels, that's their right (and since very few things are standardized, it's darn near required). But it'd be swell if they also exported "standard" stuff too. If I mis-spoke (mis-typed?) I apologize. Listen to what I mean, not what I say. :) David Smith MVN.net -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
