MIB Imports..

[joe131]

Hi All,

I'm working on a MIB Parser, and I've noticed that when
most MIB Browsers load certain MIBs, like RSVP-MIB, in
the IMPORTS it has:

ifIndex, InterfaceIndex FROM IF-MIB;

And in the MIB tree for RSVP-MIB it includes:

interfaces
ifTable
ifEntry
(etc.)


but it ALSO has 'intSrvFlowStatus'
FROM INTEGRATED-SERVICES-MIB, and it's also an
OBJECT-TYPE, so how come it doesn't include that also
in the MIB tree??

So I guess what I'm asking is, are there any kind of
"rules" that determine when MIBs are included in other
MIBs from IMPORTS.

It seems like as long as the import is an OBJECT-TYPE
that it would be included, but that doesn't seem to be
the case, as the above shows..

Also, how would 'interfaces' also get added?

Thanks
