One things spring out immediately.
What is the name of the MIB module - NOTIFICATION-MIB or
NEXTONE-NOTIFICATION-MIB ?

What is reporting this error? snmptrap or snmptrapd?

Can you run
snmptranslate -On {NEXTONE-,}NOTIFICATION-MIB:defStatus
successfully?

It looks as if the tools (both snmptrap & translate) either cannot
find the MIB file,
or don't recognise the object name.

Could you perhaps post the full text of your MIB file (as an attachement
rather than inline)

Thanks Dave, for your quick response .

Well, the name of the MIB module is NOTIFICATION-MIB . And actually I am getting error :

2010-05-20 14:14:01 NOTIFICATION-MIB:defStatus: Unknown Object Identifier

While executing command

/usr/bin/snmptrap 10.201.1.135:162 ' ' NOTIFICATION-MIB:defStatus NOTIFICATION-MIB:abcStatus i 2

snmptrap is reporting this error .

snmptranslate -On NOTIFICATION-MIB:defStatus

returns

2010-05-20 16:47:30 No log handling enabled - turning on stderr logging
2010-05-20 16:47:30 NOTIFICATION-MIB:defStatus: Unknown Object Identifier

Does it work if you put :: between the name of the mib and the name of the
field?

NOTIFICATION-MIB::defStatus
