It's not possible to use an arbitrary MIB to model a device as all the MIB gives you are the OID's, their datatypes and their description. How would zenoss map that info to data items it requires such as OS Name. There are some standard MIBS defined which do cover the basics and all SNMP devices generally support those, and zenoss uses those for modelling, but for device specific features you would need to write a custom map to define how the OID's relate to fields in the zenoss db.
ZenPacks are one solution to defining the mapping where they introduce new modelling maps and performance templates. -- Regards, Graham Bloice
