To quote the "variables(5)" man page for the UCD SNMP package on UNIX:

       The  description  of  the variables in the MIB is given in
       the set of mib files defined by the MIBS environment vari-
       able (or the default list defined at compilation time) and
       the mib files in the DATADIR/snmp/mibs directory  (or  the
       MIBDIRS environment variable).

I.e., the MIBs the UCD SNMP libraries know about are the ones in that
directory and any additional ones specified by the MIBS environment
variable (you'd have to look through the UCD SNMP documentation to see
what format that environment variable has).

"DATADIR" is the top-level directory in which data files for the library
were installed; as I'm not logged into your system, I don't know what it
is on your system.
