I am looking for a OID to get the firmware version of a Cisco Switch using SNMP.

I tried the below MIB files, i couldn't.

OLD-CISCO-CHASSIS-MIB.mib
ENTITY-MIB.my
CISCO-ENTITY-ASSET-MIB

Do anybody know the OID, if so, kindly post me. Thanks

Probably you already did that but try querying the sysDescr OID. Usually it contains model number and software information.
