Getting MIB compile error: Sequence and Row should have related names

Question

On an MIB I have written I am getting the error

  Warning 10 : Sequence "XxxSequence" and Row "xxxEntry" should have related names

smilint is not giving any errors and net-snmp does not seem to care either.

Does anyone have a hint on what this error means, or how to correct it?

Open a standard RFC MIB document and see how it defines tables (naming conventions), and soon you will see what's wrong. — Lex Li, Oct 15 '12 at 06:38

The reason I was have trouble here is that it seems you have to have the SEQUENCE entry after the OBJECT-TYPE entry.

xxxEntry OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX XxxEntry ...

XxxEntry ::= SEQUENCE { ... }

If you don't have them in the order then smilint will give you a Only differ by case warning.

smilint does not seem to care about the related names warning.
