Latest FAQ revision - preparing for 5.5 release

New page

If you've compiled the package from source (or are using binaries
from the project website), then you should probably put new MIB
files in the directory <CODE>/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs</CODE>

If you are using vendor-supplied binaries, then the MIB files
may well be located somewhere else (e.g. <CODE>/usr/share/snmp/mibs,
/opt/snmp/mibs</CODE>, or <CODE>/etc/sma/snmp/mibs</CODE>). Have a look for where
existing MIB files are installed, and try adding your MIBs to
the same directory.

If you compiled the source yourself, but specified a different
<CODE>--prefix</CODE> value when running configure, then the location of the
MIB directory will be <CODE><I>{prefix}</I>/share/snmp/mibs</CODE>.

If you're still not sure where to put your MIB files, try running
the command

snmpget -Dparse-mibs 2>&1 | grep directory

This will display the location(s) where the library is looking
for MIB files.
