If you get the MIB loading order wrong, you might get an error message about what was imported, claiming it is undefined or not listed in IMPORTS.

Cisco MIB File Directories
Cisco MIB files are organized into two directories: SNMPv1-SMI MIBs are in the SNMPv1 directory,
and SNMPv2-SMI MIBs are in the SNMPv2 directory. The list of supported MIBs for the Cisco MDS
9000 Family is available at:
ftp://ftp-sj.cisco.com/pub/mibs/supportlists/mds9000/MDS9000MIBSupportList.html
Cisco also includes supported IETF-standard MIBs at this website. Use this support list to access and
download the individual MIB files.
MIB Loading Order
Many MIBs use definitions that are defined in other MIBs. These definitions are listed in the IMPORTS
section near the top of the MIB.
For example, if MIB B imports a definition from MIB A, some MIB compilers require you to load
MIB A prior to loading MIB B. If you get the MIB loading order wrong, you might get an error message
about what was imported, claiming it is undefined or not listed in IMPORTS. If you receive an error,
look at the loading order of the MIB definitions from the IMPORTS of the MIB. Make sure that you have
loaded all the preceding MIBs first.
Here is a list of MIBs from which many other MIBs import definitions. The MIBs are listed in the order
in which you should load them:
SNMPv2-SMI.my
SNMPv2-TC.my
SNMPv2-MIB.my
RFC1213-MIB.my
IF-MIB.my
CISCO-SMI.my
CISCO-TC.my
CISCO-ST-TC.my
CISCO-VSAN-MIB.my
ENTITY-MIB.my
If you load the MIBs in this order, you can eliminate most of your load-order definition problems. You
can load most other MIBs (those not listed here) in any order.
