[c-nsp] MIBs for Processor and Memory utilization?

[Michael Markstaller]

Now, in my eyes snmp object navigator for finding which MIBs are supported is good for nothing else than getting confused.. plenty platforms and versions are permanently missing and stuff is completely wrong; 

just checked a few things:
12.4(x): no 1712 platform, I'm running it, so it is there
12.3(14T) on 1712 supports ADSL-DMT-LINE-MIB - fine but this box has no ADSL.. 
IMHO walking the real platform with the MIB's I'm interested in put into the mibs folder is much more efficient ;) just have to take into account 10% of the boxes might reload doing a full snmpwalk..

But to not only spit around, all in all Cisco's SNMP-support is *very* wide & ages better than any other device I know about; although there're broken mibs in all releases (I wonder when they'll fix the IPsec Bytes in/out counters again, they're broken since some 12.3-release)
