RE: [Query] mib of type TransportAddress

 

Hi again,

 

Thanks for the Update, I am really happy that my query was looked into
:-). But still it's half way as from agent side I am able to capture the
value under a string (u_char*) data type and I am able to persist, but
if I give the same snmp set cmd as hex-string following the display msg


 

1)    snmpset -v2c  -c motrw 127.0.0.1 clSnmpBootstrapServerAddress.0 x
0x100874cf00a2

CNEOMI-LITE-BOOTSTRAP-MIB::clSnmpBootstrapServerAddress.0 = Hex-STRING:
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

 

2)    snmpset -v2c  -c motrw 127.0.0.1 clSnmpBootstrapServerAddress.0 x
0x00100874cf00a2

CNEOMI-LITE-BOOTSTRAP-MIB::clSnmpBootstrapServerAddress.0 = Hex-STRING:
00 10 08 74 cf 00 a2 

 

Now with this kind of display msg on snmpset I am  totally confused &
even more annoyed as I am not able to capture the hex value in any of
data variables but I see junk values in the same string (u_char* )data
which are getting modified when I change the values under 'x' type.

 

I want to know what should I give as the type of my MIB is it 'x' or
's'? My MIB is of type TransportAddress which is of type
octetString(0...255) as per the TransportAddress definition which is
followed by my MIB.

 

So what must be wrong there? Is it my agent's fault that is not able to
capture the value under 'x' or I am wrong who is trying to set a value
on a MIB of type 's'? I am confused here. Please help me.

 

Regards,

Sudhir P

Well, your snmpset command looked fine though I don't understand the

MIB.  Certainly the agent didn't accept the value and actually is

doing something illegal (it should return an error if it doesn't like

it, not return the current value or all zeros).

 

You have a broken agent.
