This is again a case of RTFM and STFW as your question implies some basic misunderstandings of how Zenoss works. Basically, Zenoss uses MIBs to translate SNMP Traps. So adding MIBs isn't going to get you much unless you only want to manage devices as a trap receiver. If you want active polling, it needs to be built in, in a zenpack, or you need to create the performance templates yourself. Googling SNMP will hopefully explain what the difference between SNMP poll and Traps are.

To answer your specific question (which I fear probably won't actually help you) the MIBS you need are specified by the manufacturer of the device, and are usually available from the manufacturers website. Some MIBS are standard, and many are included with Zenoss. There are also possibly some bugs with 2.2.3, so looking in the Forum for how people got MIB importing fixed and working (symlinks - if you don't know about that, look up Linux help).

Again, I fear you are assuming you need to import MIBs when that is not actually the path to do whatever it is you want to do. You have yet to tell us what Zenoss isn't doing that you want it to do, and with what hardware.
