FAQ:MIBs 04
From Net-SNMP Wiki
I'm getting answers, but they're all numbers. Why?
This is actually the same as the previous question. Because the tools
don't read in every MIB module they can find, it is quite possible
for results from an agent to refer to modules that have not been loaded
(particularly with GETNEXT requests, or when walking a tree).
The tools will report the answer quite correctly, but won't translate
identifiers and enumerations into readable strings. To fix this, use
the environmental variables MIBS or MIBFILES
(or the '-m' and '-M' flags)
to read in the relevant module files.
