[Ethereal-users] enabling SNMP MIB object decode

["Eichorn, David" <DavidE@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Title: Message

I'm using Ethereal to decode SNMP packets. It seems that it can use MIBs to map number-based OIDs to word-based OIDs. For example, in my decode, I would expect something like

 

    Object identifier 1: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3 (iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.3)

to display as something like

 

    Object identifier 1: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3 (iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysUpTime)

I have the MIB file in the Ethereal\snmp\mibs directory, and I have the default list populated in Preferences:Protocols:SNMP:MIB modules to load (IP-MIB:IF-MIB:TCP-MIB:UDP-MIB:SNMPv2-MIB:RFC1213-MIB:UCD-SNMP-MIB). However, all I see is the number-based OIDs.

 

 

What am I missing?

 

 

 

Here is my version info:

Version 0.10.12 (C) 1998-2005 Gerald Combs <gerald@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

 

Compiled with GTK+ 2.4.14, with GLib 2.4.7, with WinPcap (version unknown),
with libz 1.2.3, with libpcre 4.4, with Net-SNMP 5.2.1.2, with ADNS.

 

Running with WinPcap version 3.1 beta4 (packet.dll version 3, 1, 0, 24), based on libpcap version 0.8.3 on Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, build 2195.

Thanks!
