Hello! We have been using the smilint function of libsmi for a while to validate changes to our enterprise-specific MIB modules. A MIB browser recently raised a syntax error when processing one of our MIB modules. The error applied to this definition:
ibmProd1Compliances OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { ibmProd1Conformance 1 }
The MIB browser required all the parts of this definition to be on one line in the MIB module. But smilint did not flag this definition as a syntax error. Should MIB browsers be able to process this definition successfully? I have read "Understanding SNMP MIBs" by Perkins and McGinnis, and they seem to indicate that white space includes line terminators.
Thanks for your time on this question,
