RE: Cisco 350 Wireless Access Points MIBs

This is a multipart message in MIME format. Blaine -
Thanks, but can you clarify how you are using these MIBs, especially the
IEEE802_11Draft6.txt one?
That's a draft MIB and should not be required by any commercial product,
at least as I understand how the iso MIB tree is supposed to work. Because
it begins, iso(1).member-body(2).us(840) rather than
iso(1).org(3).dod(3), it defines a proposed standard, like MIB-II, which
when adopted by the ISO, should get moved over under another branch. A
commercially available product should either be using standard internet
stuff (which is iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1)) or their own private
stuff (which is
iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1)). Most vendor
MIBs are in this category, as is the awcVx MIB you sent. That's my
understanding at any rate. So what is the draft standard for?
It also appears that the copy you have appended has been converted by
someone from its original SNMP V2 format into SNMP V1 format, and then
heavily edited. I have seen the original out on the Cisco ftp site but am
confused about its relevance and usefulness. Can you assist me?

Given that you had so much trouble getting them, I'd say you should try
posting them here, maybe as .txt attachments.
Surely others will have the same difficulties.
It's either that or tell us in detail where you ftp'd and what files you
got.

You need the 802.11 mib plus the Aironet specific mib awcVx.mib. I had an
adventure getting these - on the Cisco site there was a link to the
Aironet
web site to get the mibs. This took you to a page telling you that
Aironet
had been bought by Cisco and a link to the page to get the mibs. Clicking
on
this link took you (guess where) - right back to the Cisco page you
started
from. I wound up getting them via ftp. I can send the mibs to you if you
want.

I am wanting to load mibs for a Cisco 350 Wireless Access Point. I am not
sure what MIBS to load to make this work. Can anyone assist me with this?
Thanks in advance.
