Translating numbers to words with ucd-snmp snmpwalk ?
Jesper Frank Nemholt
I have a UPS (PowerWare Prestige 9 with a ConnectUPS ethernet SNMP
connection).
When I do a snmpwalk I get all the normal information like sysName,
Location and so on, but when I get to the RFC1628 UPS MIB part of it
(the numbers starting with 33), I only get the numbers and don't get the
translated information.
I then thought I could just get hold of the RFC1628 MIB, place it in
/usr/share/snmp/mibs (this is on Red Hat Linux 6.1) where the rest of
the MIBS are located and name it UPS-MIB.txt and/or RFC1628-MIB.txt
...but this doesn't help....
Is the above mentioned action the correct to make snmpwalk translate the
numbers into readable words, or should I do something else ?
...if it is correct, I guess my MIB file is incorrect. Anyone know where
I can get properly formatted MIB files for various network gear ?

But it is a good start :-)

You have to tell the tools to load that MIB file. Use either
-m ALL
-m UPS-MIB (or whatever it is called)
or place the line
mibs +UPS-MIB
in your snmp.conf file

The file is probably OK if you don't get any error messages when it is
loaded.
