does anyone have the MIB compiler working?
i'm running WireShark 1.0.7 under Windows ... and am trying to add some portion
of my ~2000 MIB file collection
-i've configured Preferences:Open a console window to 'Always(debugging') ...
but i haven't seen an error message in the console window yet
-i've played with Preferences:Name Resolution:SMI (MIB and PIB) paths, adding
directories in which I've installed MIB files (i've tried both relative
directory names, aka Broadcom, Dell, Intel, as well as fully-qualified names:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Wireshark\snmp\mibs\Broadcom, C:\Program Files
(x86)\Wireshark\snmp\mibs\Dell ...
-i've tried copying MIB files into C:\Program Files (x86)\Wireshark\snmp\mibs
and then adding them using Preferences:Name Resolution: SMI (MIB and PIB) modules
-and i've even tried specifying a non-existent MIB files ('foo') using
Preferences:Name Resolution: SMI (MIB and PIB) modules ... minimally, i would
have expected an error in the console window, something like "unable to find MIB
module 'foo'" ... but no, a serenely peaceful and solidly black console window
after each effort, i closed Wireshark, reopened it, verified that my Preferences
changes had stuck, and then opened a trace file full of SNMP Gets and Responses
... and have seen no change in the translation of Broadcom, Dell, or Intel
enterprise OIDs
perhaps this feature isn't implemented yet? or perhaps it doesn't propagate
errors to the console yet?
