Public bug reported: I have tested this on a freshly installed Ubuntu 10.10. I only did "apt-get install snmp snmpd" Looks like there are missing MIBs that are referenced by existing MIBs but I can't find them in any Ubuntu package. I had to manually copy SNMPv2-SMI SNMPv2-TC and INET-ADDRESS-MIB which are referenced by: ~$ egrep -l "INET-ADDRESS-MIB|SNMPv2-TC|SNMPv2-SMI" /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/* /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/GNOME-SMI /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/INET-ADDRESS-MIB /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/LM-SENSORS-MIB /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-EXAMPLES-MIB /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-MIB /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-MONITOR-MIB /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-PASS-MIB /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-SYSTEM-MIB /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-TC /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-VACM-MIB /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/SNMPv2-SMI /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/SNMPv2-TC /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-DEMO-MIB /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-DISKIO-MIB /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-DLMOD-MIB /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-IPFWACC-MIB /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-SNMP-MIB
Now, although this might not be a problem I thought it was relevant. The real problem is that snmp is not able to resolve even the basic system oids, checking with snmpwalk: ~$ snmpwalk -c public -v 2c Cobain iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 = STRING: "Linux Cobain 2.6.35-23-generic-pae #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 10:35:46 UTC 2010 i686" iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0 = OID: iso.3.6.1.4.1.8072.3.2.10 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 = Timeticks: (394598) 1:05:45.98 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0 = STRING: "Me <m...@example.org>" iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0 = STRING: "Cobain" iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.6.0 = STRING: "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.7.0 = INTEGER: 72 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.8.0 = Timeticks: (5) 0:00:00.05 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.2.1 = OID: iso.3.6.1.6.3.10.3.1.1 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.2.2 = OID: iso.3.6.1.6.3.11.3.1.1 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.2.3 = OID: iso.3.6.1.6.3.15.2.1.1 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.2.4 = OID: iso.3.6.1.6.3.1 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.2.5 = OID: iso.3.6.1.2.1.49 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.2.6 = OID: iso.3.6.1.2.1.4 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.2.7 = OID: iso.3.6.1.2.1.50 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.2.8 = OID: iso.3.6.1.6.3.16.2.2.1 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3.1 = STRING: "The SNMP Management Architecture MIB." iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3.2 = STRING: "The MIB for Message Processing and Dispatching." iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3.3 = STRING: "The management information definitions for the SNMP User-based Security Model." iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3.4 = STRING: "The MIB module for SNMPv2 entities" iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3.5 = STRING: "The MIB module for managing TCP implementations" iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3.6 = STRING: "The MIB module for managing IP and ICMP implementations" iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3.7 = STRING: "The MIB module for managing UDP implementations" iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3.8 = STRING: "View-based Access Control Model for SNMP." iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.4.1 = Timeticks: (5) 0:00:00.05 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.4.2 = Timeticks: (5) 0:00:00.05 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.4.3 = Timeticks: (5) 0:00:00.05 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.4.4 = Timeticks: (5) 0:00:00.05 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.4.5 = Timeticks: (5) 0:00:00.05 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.4.6 = Timeticks: (5) 0:00:00.05 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.4.7 = Timeticks: (5) 0:00:00.05 iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.4.8 = Timeticks: (5) 0:00:00.05 iso.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1.0 = Timeticks: (15274755) 1 day, 18:25:47.55 iso.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.2.0 = Hex-STRING: 07 DA 0C 0F 0D 17 37 00 2B 00 00 iso.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.3.0 = INTEGER: 1536 iso.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.4.0 = STRING: "BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-23-generic-pae root=UUID=cec1a5a0-fc57-4e68-b2b2-41b9b2037e32 ro quiet splash " iso.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.5.0 = Gauge32: 5 iso.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.6.0 = Gauge32: 238 iso.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.7.0 = INTEGER: 0 iso.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.7.0 = No more variables left in this MIB View (It is past the end of the MIB tree) No OID has been resolved, even the snmptranslate examples from the snmptranslate manpage don't work for me.
