Re: [nv-l] Nortel MIB load problem

My advice would be to open a problem with Support so they can try it.

But the error message would indicate that something in what you have already loaded is causing a problem with this new MIB.
I say that because of the high line number, 22314. Since it is unlikely that this MIB you are loading is that large, then the line number probably refers to the SNMP V2 MIB database file, /usr/OV/conf/snmpv2mib, to which we are trying to add this new MIB. If you examine that file, can you see what's at or around 22314? Based on the other error message, I'd be expecting something with the word "deprecated" in it.

I'm not certain what to tell you to do after that, because I don't have all the facts, which is why I suggested a call to Support. Offhand, I would suggest unloading the MIB which contains the offending line and then try loading your new Nortel MIBs.
