Net-SNMP (NETS notes)

There are two steps required to add a new MIB file to the tools. Firstly, copy the MIB file into the appropiate location:

cp MY-MIB.txt /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs

Secondly, tell the tools to load this MIB:

echo "mibs +MY-MIB" >> $HOME/.snmp/snmp.conf

Note that the value for this variable is the name of the MIB module, *not* the name of the MIB file. These are typically the same (apart from the .txt suffix), but if in doubt, check the contents of the file. The value to use is the token immediately before the word DEFINITIONS at the start of the file.
