[Bug 690638] [NEW] snmp tools fail to translate OIDs

Wed Dec 15 13:25:57 GMT 2010

Public bug reported:

I have tested this on a freshly installed Ubuntu 10.10. I only did "apt-get install snmp snmpd"
Looks like there are missing MIBs that are referenced by existing MIBs but I can't find them in any Ubuntu package.
I had to manually copy SNMPv2-SMI SNMPv2-TC and INET-ADDRESS-MIB which are referenced by:
~$ egrep -l "INET-ADDRESS-MIB|SNMPv2-TC|SNMPv2-SMI" /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/*
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/GNOME-SMI
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/INET-ADDRESS-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/LM-SENSORS-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-EXAMPLES-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-MONITOR-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-PASS-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-SYSTEM-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-TC
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-VACM-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/SNMPv2-SMI
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/SNMPv2-TC
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-DEMO-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-DISKIO-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-DLMOD-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-IPFWACC-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-SNMP-MIB

Now, although this might not be a problem I thought it was relevant.

The real problem is that snmp is not able to resolve even the basic system oids, checking with snmpwalk:

No OID has been resolved, even the snmptranslate examples from the snmptranslate manpage don't work for me.
I've tried the same in a freshly installed Debian system under the same circumstances and the oids were resolved to MIB and attribute names.
