What do you mean by the Co-existence MIB?
Can you provide a reference?

If you mean the SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB (defined in RFC3584, the
co-existence specification), then no - this MIB is not currently implemented.

There is an equivalent mapping between v1/2c community strings and
SNMPv3-style security names - specified by the 'com2sec' directive.
This was implemented privately, at around the same time as the
COMMUNITY MIB was being developed.

See 'agent/mibgroup/mibII/vacm_conf.c' - in particular the routine
'vacm_check_view'
