I found a solution which seems to work, although it is more like a hack
around the problem. Anyway, here is what I did:
o I added rfc1573.smi rfc1573.mib to the tnm(mibs:core) variable
just before rfc1213.mib.
o I added the definitions of the interfaces node into the compat.tc
file:
-- This node is needed in the interface MIB (RFC 1573) and defined in
-- RFC 1213. However, loading RFC 1213 before loading RFC 1573 will
-- drop the re-definitions for objects defined in RFC 1213.
interfaces OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mib-2 2 }
I think this solves the problem (let me know if it does not). However,
a better solution might be to drop rfc1213.mib and to use the SNMPv2
replacements (RFC 2011-2013) instead. Has anyone done this before?
