Re: (ASCEND) SNMP questions

[Richard Johnsson <johnsson@interval.com>]

You can find the MIB files (lots of versions :-) at

		ftp://ftp.ascend.com/pub/Doc/MIBS

You'll want to find the version that corresponds to the software version
you're running. The changes from version to version are rarely
incompatible, but if the MIB file is newer than your software there may be
variables listed that your software doesn't implement.

The MIB files have semi-reasonable descriptions of all the MIB variables,
but unless you have a MIB compiler you'll have to manually trace through
the hierarchy to assemble the numbers for each level.
