You don't have to; the product's SNMP support is extensible. What you need to do depends on what release you have. In 1.0, look at Application Note 1 that came with your software. If you have 1.1, use the 'mib2schema' program, which makes things much easier. > Any help would be appreciated. I hope that helps. You already have everything you need; you just need to put it in place. If the product's documentation doesn't clarify things, Sun's support line would be a good place to find out more. ..bob -- Bob Page Sun Microsystems, Inc. page@eng.sun.com "The biggest growth industry in UNIX is promoting standards." - Rikki Kirzner, Dataquest.
