No, that was just an alternative. You can stick those 3 lines in your script
and not have to worry about updating the site/init.tcl file when you add new
mibs.
Alternative:
You can stick those lines in your site/init.tcl and have your own separate
mib directory and do the mib load or lappend to the tnm(mibs) variable in
that fashion. I was just giving you an idea of how to automate it in
a loop. (wherever you put that loop is up to you)
