Spectrum trap mib importing

[Patrick Murtey]

​Hi All,
We are importing MIBs into Spectrum utilizing the MIB tools utility and adding updated MIBS from the vendor. However when we unzipped the zip file provided by the vendor, the contents of the zip file held not only .my mib files but also a duplicate file name but with a .md5 extension. The .my files imported just fine but the .md5 do not. What are we supposed to do with these files.  Just guessing but we suspect they have something to do with v3. If so, what do we do with them and how are they handled?


TIA

Hi Patrick,

I believe the files with the md5 extension are just used as checksum files to make sure that the unzipped mib files are ok.  If you have a Windows server you can download a command line utility from Microsoft that will check these calculations for you.

In Linux there is md5sum which is built into a lot of Linux distributions.

I hope this helps you.
