What other errors are you getting from running the addmib command? Could you post the entire output please.

Code: Select all
addmib /usr/share/snmp/mibs/3COM0115.MIB
This file looks like it has been added already!
Exiting.

So you are no longer receiving the index too large error? I would suggest attempting a mib that is not working, or has not been added as of yet.

the error i see at the following command
for i in 3COM*.mib; do snmpttconvertmib --in=/usr/share/snmp/mibs/$i --out=/etc/snmp/snmptt.conf --exec='/usr/share/snmp/snmpconf-data/snmptrapd-data/traphandle $r $s "$D"'; done
then this
add_mibdir: strings scanned in from /usr/share/snmp/mibs/.index are too large. count = 394
i would like to process the mib

Let's have you tar the entire snmp/mibs directory and PM it to one of us.
Code: Select all
cd /tmp
tar cjf mibs.tar.bz2 /usr/share/snmp/mibs/

I'm a bit late, but maybe my infos are still useful to someone.
I had same strange error message a few days ago working with one of my clients.
Also, some mibs were not translated correctly despite mib files was there.
After 3 hysterical (for the client) days of hard job, I started to read source code of netsnmp and I discovered that the function which parse index files expects rows in a format like
MODULE{space}FILENAME{CR}
So , I discovered that my customer renamed a file using whitespaces (AAAURRGHH!!! ) which made function to stop analyzing index ( and thereby ignoring following mib modules ).
You may discover which file is causing issue looking at row number stated in "count = "
