        Having spent many a jolly hour fiddling with HP MIBs and
corresponding with folks at HP to find what order to load them in (and
still not getting them all loaded), may I pick your brains and ask which
MIBs you load, in which order? (And where you get them from & what's your
favourite vintage?!)

FWIW I currently have
lappend tnm(mibs) hpicfoid.mib
lappend tnm(mibs) config.mib
lappend tnm(mibs) hpdwnld.mib
lappend tnm(mibs) hpentmib.mib
lappend tnm(mibs) hpbasic.mib
lappend tnm(mibs) iftype.mib
lappend tnm(mibs) netswtst.mib
lappend tnm(mibs) stat.mib
lappend tnm(mibs) hpvlan.mib
lappend tnm(mibs) hpgnrptr.mib
lappend tnm(mibs) hpltst.mib
lappend tnm(mibs) hpff.mib
lappend tnm(mibs) hphttpmg.mib
lappend tnm(mibs) rfc2239.mib
lappend tnm(mibs) rfc2233.mib
lappend tnm(mibs) rfc2358.mib
# lappend tnm(mibs) rfc2037.mib
        the last one complains
unable to parse ENTERPRISE {
/usr/local/lib/tnm2.1.10/site/rfc2037.mib:671: bad format in TRAP-TYPE
couldn't parse MIB file "/usr/local/lib/tnm2.1.10/site/rfc2037.mib"

        There seem to be various sets of MIBs of different vintages
around: the set on the Top Tools CD that comes with switches, the s99 set
on HP's web site and the set that gets distributed with HPOV. IIRC the s99
set is most recent. The sets also comprise different actual MIBs, e.g. the
OV and TT sets contain hpoid.mib whereas the newer set has hpicfoid.mib
which seems to be an updated version of the former. And so it goes ....

        BTW we use HP4Ks here like they were going out of fashion, so I
encourage you with your efforts!
