Issue/Introduction

When you load a VMware MIB in an SNMP management client, you might encounter errors like "Cannot find module file: VMWARE-TC-MIB".

Note: The error messages might differ depending on your SNMP management client.

Cause

This issue occurs because the prerequisite base MIBs are not loaded beforehand.

Resolution

To prevent lookup errors, load these MIB files in the following order before loading other MIB files:

  1. VMWARE-ROOT-MIB.mib
  2. VMWARE-TC-MIB.mib
  3. VMWARE-PRODUCTS-MIB.mib

These MIB files are included in the "VMware-mibs-####.zip" file. To download this file, see SNMP MIB module file download.
