I need to design MIB for SNMP analysis from scratch. I mean, we got an OID for our enterprise on the tree 2.25 now it’s time to code.

However, I can’t get an example of this. When looking under /usr/share/snmp/mibs directory on our Linux machine a see a lot of files (for example: HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.txt, IF-MIB.txt, etc). I understand that these files follow a format for MIB, but I just not getting it because they import some things that are completely strange to me.

For example:

IMPORTS
    MODULE-IDENTITY, OBJECT-TYPE, Counter32, Gauge32, Counter64,
    Integer32, TimeTicks, mib-2,
    NOTIFICATION-TYPE                        FROM SNMPv2-SMI
    TEXTUAL-CONVENTION, DisplayString,
    PhysAddress, TruthValue, RowStatus,
    TimeStamp, AutonomousType, TestAndIncr   FROM SNMPv2-TC
    MODULE-COMPLIANCE, OBJECT-GROUP,
    NOTIFICATION-GROUP                       FROM SNMPv2-CONF
    snmpTraps                                FROM SNMPv2-MIB
    IANAifType                               FROM IANAifType-MIB;

Then, in every import file I see more imports and more imports. Can somebody tell me what is the top most file for that or point me in any direction faq or something?

Thanks in advance.
