MIBs v1 and v2

[aformisani]

Hi

I have a doubt regarding MIBs. I dowloads the MIBs for Cisco 4503 for a specific IOS. But the folder is divided by v1 and v2.

What does it mean v1 and v2? The version of SNMP?

So if I enable just SNMP Trap (''snmp-server enable traps.....'') I should use MIBs v1 but if I enable also the number of Retries and Timeout ( ''snmp-server inform retries...'' and ''snmp-server inform timeout...'') I sould use MIBs v2.

Am I right?

Thanks

Hi Andrea,

V1 and V2 denotes for SNMP version V1 and V2.

You are right with your understanding with the commands. I would suggest to compile both the variants of the MIBs and your system (NMS) would interpret the trap messages of both types as and when they come up to it.
