This is a multipart message in MIME format.

You didn't say what version of NetView you are running, nor what platform, 
nor even what MIB loader you were trying to use.
You have to be at 6.0.2 for NetView to recognize the BITS construct, and 
even them it is only recognized in the V2 loader because it is an SNMP V2 
construct.

These messages mean just what they say -- that the loader doesn't 
recognize the construct being used.  It does not think that whatever is in 
the line being referenced is a proper ASN.1 type nor a proper textual 
convention.  Everything defined in a MIB has to be one or the other.

        Subject:        [NV-L] Error Message when loading MIB

 


I've been receiving the following error whilst trying to load a mib file.
I've been through the MIB file and checked that all the referenced mibs 
are
already loaded, but still I receive this error. 

The error is as follows " Textual Convention doesn't map to real type.
(BITS): On or around line 110. Bad parse of ASN type definition : ON or
around line 110. Mib Table is bad. 

Does this error mean that the Mib table is bad within Netview or is it
simply referring to the fact that I have do not have the correct 
definition
loaded. 

Any Thoughts would be appreciated.
