Hi, Mike Maybe I asked a confusing question in last mail. What I really want to know is how to use net-snmp lib api to fetch the correct ip address, thanks! ------------------ Ren 2008-08-01 ------------------------------------------------------------- 发件人：Mike Ayers 发送日期：2008-08-01 01:55:17 收件人：xiao ren; Net-snmp-users 抄送： 主题：RE: How to get host's ip address? > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of xiao ren > Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2008 10:09 AM > But why must I use ip address as the index of the OID to > query it's own ip address? You don't - you can use get-next from the top of the table and discover the indexes. > I think it's ironic, since if I've > already known the ip address, I don't have to query it by snmp, right? SNMP can run over many different transports. Also, there are purely IP elements, such as NAT, that may cause you to communicate with a host using an IP address which is not on that host.
