There are two steps required to add a new MIB file to the tools.
Firstly, copy the MIB file into the appropriate location:
cp MY-MIB.txt /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs
cp MY-MIB.txt /usr/share/snmp/mibs
(which makes it available to everyone on the system)
or
mkdir $HOME/.snmp

If this is the case, then you can specify this interpreter
explicitly as part of the trap handle directive:
traphandle default /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/log_it
traphandle default /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/log_it
In this case, it's almost certain that you'll also
need to give the full path to the traphandle script (as shown)

Some of these (such as MIB information), might be best put in a

/etc/snmp/snmp.conf) to apply to all users of the system. Others

The /var/net-snmp location is primarily used for information set
The /var/lib/snmp location is primarily used for information set
during the running of the agent, which needs to be persistent between
one run of the agent and the next. Apart from "createUser" (see
the previous entry), you shouldn't need to touch this file.
