In the past, I had tried copying the binary files as you suggested for a
different reason on a NetView 5.0 UNIX server, and found that they were not
compatible.  I think the MIB browser core'd when it tried to read the copied
.bin file.

        Subject:        Loading SNMPv1/SNMPv2 MIBs

        Without having to reload all MIBs over again one-by-one, is there a
way to
        convert the existing SNMPv1 MIBs loaded into the SNMPv1/SNMPv2
NetView
        browser?  Can one just copy the "snmpmib.bin" file over to the
        "snmpv2mib.bin" file and then just reload the few SNMPv2 MIBs (we
have many
        more SNMPv1 MIBs than SNMPv2)?
