The command 'snmptranslate' is used to translate
between numeric
and symbolic forms of OIDs. It uses the same MIB parsing routines
as the commands that actually communicate with a network management
agent, but can be used standalone. As such, it is a useful tool
for identifying problems with reading in MIB files.
In particular, the following options may be useful in identifying problems:
-Pw warns about conflicting symbols
-PW prints more verbose warnings about other problems as well
(in both cases, ignore the 'xmalloc' reports)
-T provides sub-options for various views of these entries
There are other '-P' options to control various aspects of MIB parsing.
See the 'snmptranslate(1)' and 'snmpcmd(1)' man pages for more details,
or the tutorial at http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial-5/commands/snmptranslate.html
For a more rigourous validation, use a tool such as 'smilint', or the
on-line interface at http://wwwsnmp.cs.utwente.nl/ietf/mibs/validate/
