MacSNMP: Mac System MIB Compile Error (4/96)


Next week, together with IBM, I'm going to be demonstrating SNMP at a big exhibition. In trying to configure a RS/6000 as the console we had the following problem:



We couldn't compile the Apple-Macintosh-System-MIB. An error was reported at the line "userInTrouble TRAP-TYPE". I noticed that the MIB's first line states "IMPORTS TRAP-TYPE FROM RFC-1215". This RFC is not available on the RS/6000.



Is this the problem?



What is RFC-1215, where is it available, and can we receive a copy?


You have to remove this trap from the MIB definition and it should work fine. The RS/6000 can't handle this trap.



RFC 1215 is a convention for Defining Traps for use with the SNMP, you can find the it on the Internet using a tool such as Gopher.
