mib validation

[Claudius]

Hi Folks,
I am writing a mib file and I want to check my asn.1 syntax and errors.
Is there a command line opion with mib2c to check your mib file syntax?

No, but there are other tools to do such things. If you have "Understanding
SNMP MIBs", there is an app on the CD, and you might also check out libSMI.

snmptranslate will spit out errors when it tries to parse it. sming
(www.snmpinfo.com) and smilint (part of libsmi) are better error
handlers. Note that sming is a commercial product and catches
significantly more errorrs than smilint, which is free.
