Failed to parse MIB file /usr/share/snmp/mibs/

[sartecat]

I was looking through google and found to enter export MIBS=+[File] and export MIBDIRS=+[Directory]. I entered the directory for the file by mistake and now I'm getting "Failed to parse MIB file /usr/share/snmp/mibs/" error at the beginning of an snmpwalk. How do I fix this?

Run the unset command to clear out the environment variable and then rerun the export again with the correct data.

Code: Select all

unset MIBS
unset MIBDIRS

If I have all my MIBS in the /usr/share/snmp/mibs directory, do I still need to export each MIB file?

No, you should not have to export each MIB file. You should only need the MIBDIRS environment set.
