Re: [nv-l] Avaya G3 Monitoring (resolved)

This is my second response.
I thought at first you were asking about
pre-reqs but then I started to puzzle over that error message and I couldn't
see how that related, so just for grins I downloaded one of these MIBs,
g3mib20_asn1, to see what it looked like. I collect problem MIBs
as a sort of hobby. I tried to load it and got the same error you
did about the parent not being defined.
Here's what the MIB looks like
at the beginning with lots of definitions, the first
3-AVAYA-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN
IMPORTS
OBJECT-TYPE, DisplayString
FROM RFC1213-MIB
OBJECT-TYPE, NetworkAddress,
IpAddress, Counter, Gauge, TimeTicks
FROM RFC1155-SMI;
-- The following should be defined elsewhere
iso
OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 1 }
org
OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso 3 }
dod
OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { org 6 }
internet OBJECT
IDENTIFIER ::= { dod 1 }
private
OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { internet 4 }
enterprises OBJECT IDENTIFIER
::= { private 1 }
avaya
OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { enterprises 6889 }
mibs
OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { avaya 2 }
definity
OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mibs 8 }
g3-mib
OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { definity 1 }
g3proxmib
OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { definity 2 }
products OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { avaya 1 }
def-products OBJECT IDENTIFIER
::= { products 8 }
g3-products OBJECT IDENTIFIER
::= { def-products 1 }
Now what the error message "Line
0: Error defining object ": Parent" not defined." is
trying to tell you is that we don't know where to start putting all these
definitions. That's because we already start at the iso level
and you cannot redefine that. So all you have to do to get this to
load (and any others like this) is to comment out the line which reads
iso
OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 1 }
by putting 2 dashes in front of it,
like this
- - iso
OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 1 }
and it should load just fine. It
does for me.
In fact, everything down to the Avaya
enterprise is redundant and could also be commented out. But its
re-defining the root of the MIB tree is why we gave you the error message.

Thanks Mahesh,
I attempted to load all the G3 mibs and
received error Line 0: Error defining object ": Parent"
not defined. I
assume it needs other mibs loaded prior to the G3's.. I have RFC1213-Mib
and RFC1155-SMI mibs loaded.. Thanks, Dave
