If you pulled a file off the web called, rfc2580.txt, then you are trying to
load something which is not a MIB.  It may contain a MIB, and in that case, you
must extract the MIB from the file and load only that.

Many thanks Wouter.

I've downloaded the rfc2024 mib and I can see that it has dependencies with
some other MIBs. I see that I need to load SNMPv2-CONF (rfc2580) and
SNA-SDLC-MIB, in this order. So I got rfc2580 but when trying to load it I
got the following error:

"Error detected while loading MIB File: /usr/OV/snmp_mibs/rfc2580.txt.
This file cannot be loaded until the following problrm is corrected:
Line 11: Error defining object: found 'MACRO'
Expected one of the following:
     OBJECT IDENTIFIER
     OBJECT-TYPE
     TRAP-TYPE
     ::=            "

I have the following MIBs loaded (grep "START OF MIB" snmpmib)

-- START OF MIB: rfc1213-MIB-II
-- START OF MIB: rfc1229-GINTF
-- START OF MIB: rfc1230-802.4
-- START OF MIB: rfc1231-802.5
-- START OF MIB: rfc1232-DS1
-- START OF MIB: rfc1233-DS3
-- START OF MIB: rfc1243-APPLE
-- START OF MIB: rfc1253-OSPF
-- START OF MIB: rfc1269-BGP
-- START OF MIB: rfc1271-RMON

-- START OF MIB: rfc1514-HOST
-- START OF MIB: rfc1515-MAU
-- START OF MIB: rfc1516-REPEATER
-- START OF MIB: rfc1525-BRIDGE
-- START OF MIB: rfc1623-ETHER-LIKE
-- START OF MIB: ibm-alert.mib
-- START OF MIB: ibm-nv6ksubagent.mib
-- START OF MIB: rfc1442v.smi
-- START OF MIB: rfc1573b.v1mib
-- START OF MIB: rfc1657.v1mib
-- START OF MIB: rfc1695.v1mib
-- START OF MIB: snmpv2-tc-v1

I have no idea of what's the problem but I guess I am not the only one who
had that problem.
Does somebody have the solution?

Many thanks in advance,
Juan.
