AIX 5.3 snmpv2c configuration

    Hello
    im trying to set up SNMPv2c on a AIX 5.3 TL12 box to talk with Solarwinds Orion NMS. i have searched this forum plus a few more
    plus the man pages for snmpdv3.conf configuration and i think i got it right up to a certain extent.
    I have modified the file /etc/rc.tcpip so as the sub-agents aixmibd hostmibd muxatmd snmpmibd now start with
    the new community string as a parameter.(start /usr/sbin/hostmibd "$src_running" "-c mystring")
    my NMS server is 172.16.7.10
    im posting my snmpdv3.conf below, as it is now after stopping and starting all the sub-agents and snmpd it talks with the NMS server
    but its only some very basic description that gets reported back to the NMS such as hostname and IP, machine type, processor ID, AIX version and TCP/IP version.
    So i thought that for example uncommenting some of the following #VACM_VIEW and stop/start the daemons would supply the NMS with more data but nothing more
    seems to be reported back to it.

    so my main questions are 3.

    1)which is there a specific order when stopping sub agents and snmpd?i have actually stopped all the sub-agents,then snmpd and then started sub-agents
    and lastly the snmpd.

    2)all those MIBs internet,system,interfaces and so on are in any way "universal" ie meaning that my NMS (Solarwinds Orion) includes them or
    do i have to add them in some way in its MIB in some way?Also where can i find a list of basic MIBs that i might want to include. I have actually found
    those that you see from various posts on forums.

    3)does it matter if there are spaces or tabs seperating values on each line?
    any help would be apprecieated :)
