RE: netsnmp with perl 64 bit handling

Hi,

	Thanks for your suggestion. If we this about 32 bit counters the max
value it can hold is 4294967295. But how the 

#snmpwalk -v 1 -c pubic 10.4.0.151 | grep Octet returns such a huge and
valid value like:
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.3 = Counter32:1120513328970

Br,
APT

I have a hard time believing that statement.  The IF-MIB::ifInOctets 
table is composed of Counter32 types, which cannot hold a value larger 
than 4294967295.  The High Capacity counters are of type Counter64 and 
can present larger values.  That table is IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.

These are representative results from a close-by switch:

$ snmpget -v 2c -c public 10.10.100.147 IF-MIB::ifInOctets.6
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.6 = Counter32: 1601496262

$ snmpget -v 2c -c public 10.10.100.147 IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.6
IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.6 = Counter64: 48846137879
