Question : snmpget returns "Cannot find module" in net-snmp

How can I get snmpget working ? This is from a Windows XP box

Currently it returns all this :

C:\SNMP\net-snmp\bin>snmpget -v2c -c public 192.168.1.1 system.sysDescr.0
Cannot find module (IP-MIB): At line 0 in (none)
Cannot find module (IF-MIB): At line 0 in (none)

Cannot find module (SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB): At line 0 in (none)
Cannot find module (SNMPv2-TM): At line 0 in (none)
system.sysDescr.0:  (Sub-id not found: (top) -> system)


- I've copied net-snmp.dll into c:\windows\system32
- I've set snmp.conf (in the same dir as the EXEs) to

mibdirs c:\snmp\net-snmp\share\snmp\mibs
persistentDir c:\snmp\net-snmp\snmp\persist
tempFilePattern c:\snmp\net-snmp\temp\snmpdXXXXXX

Any ideas ? I get a feeling I need to "install the mibs" but if so how do I do that ?


When I add -m ALL

snmpget v2c -m ALL -c public 192.168.1.1 system.sysDescr.0

I get the error (Sub-id not found).


thanks

Answer : snmpget returns "Cannot find module" in net-snmp

Found it at last

C:\SNMP\net-snmp\bin>set MIBDIRS=C:\SNMP\net-snmp\share\snmp\mibs

C:\SNMP\net-snmp\bin>snmpget -v1 -c public 192.168.1.1 system.sysDescr.0
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.3(3)

I had to do that set statement. The snmp documentation is sooooo bad for windows, I've been stuck on this all day !!!

thanks
