Has anyone successfully setup and run SNMP queries using Windows XP WMI SNMP?
I have attempted it but with no luck.
Here are the steps I have performed;
1) Added SNMP Protocol and WMI SNMP provider via Control Panel
2) Created an SNMP Namespace in the WMI repository. also created the 2 supporting registry entries - "File Suffixes" and "File Path"
3) Downloaded a single, standalone MIB - SNMPv2-SMI
4) Tried comipiling the mib using SMI2SMIR.EXE
Evertime I try to compile using SM2SMIR, it fails as follows;
C:\mib>smi2smir /g snmpv2-smi.txt > snmpv2-smi.mof
smi2smir : Version <UnknownVersion> : MIB definitions compiled from "snmpv2-smi.
txt"
smi2smir : Syntax Check successful on "snmpv2-smi.txt"
<1085,Warning>: "snmpv2-smi.txt" (line 15, col 0): No Groups found in module "SN
MPv2-SMI". Could not fabricate MODULE-IDENTITY. Attempt to load the module into
the SMIR will fail.
smi2smir : Semantic Check successful on "snmpv2-smi.txt"
smi2smir: Could not generate MOF
C:\mib>
I realize this is not a MS support forum, but I thought I'd try and see if anyone had successfully used Windows SMI to read SNMP data from Cisco Gear.
The following link is what my work has been based on;
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/aa393621.aspx
registry entries;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WBEM\PROVIDE RS\SNMP\Compiler
with the REG_MULTI_SZ values: "File Path" (might already be existing)
and "File Suffixes"
The values for the file suffixes you have to enter by hand. Keep in
mind to separate different suffixes with a new line:
e.g. "txt
mib
asn"
Thanks
