RE: [nv-l] Query regarding MIB Data Collector of NetView 7.1.3

I will
open a support request on this issue, and
ask for an enhancement
request to be created to extend snmpv2 mib
support in snmpcollect
as suggested
by Todd. Then this will be a very useful application for
us.
Thanks a lot
to Todd and Gareth for their useful suggestions!!!

snmpCollect would still need code added to handle all
the new SNMP V2 data types, like Counter32, Gauge32, and so on. So as long as
the data type is of the sort that snmpcollect can currently support, you
should be ok on using a V2 MIB in a data collection. But this is NOT the case
for all SNMP V2 MIBs, otherwise the GUI probably would have been updated by
now. Support for v2 is not as simple as modifying the GUI from what I
understand.

That's because they use the xnmbrowser--the snmp
mib browser for the snmpv1 mib hierarchy.

No.

The data collector can be used if you hand code the OID
into /usr/OV/conf/snmpcol.conf The syntax is documented in the file
itself in comments. Once you edit that file by hand,
ovstop/ovstart snmpcollect
While the mib collector uses snmpv1 PDU's
to send its GET requests, it all works fine because snmpv2 agents are
required to respond to v1 requests.
It's unfortunate that NetView's
GUI imposes this artificial limitation. If you feel as I do about
it, open a support request on tihs issue, and ask for an enhancement
request to be created to extend snmpv2 mib support in snmpcollect. I
see no reason why they couldn't easily change the GUI to use the snmpv1/v2
mib database and the xnmbrowser2 to do that selection instead.
