snmpwalk and snmpget give different result for same object

Hi All,

 

When I do the snmpwalk to "wsAceessBanner" I get the following result :

 

***** SNMP QUERY STARTED *****

1: wsAceessBanner(7).0 (OCTET STRING) This Device is running in Common
Criteria Mode. Attention: This is a protected and private wireless
system. No un-authorized access allowed.You must have proper rights to
access and manage this system from the authorized personnel.

***** SNMP QUERY FINISHED *****

 

 

When I do the snmpget  to "wsAceessBanner" I get the following result :

 

1: wsAceessBanner(7).0 (OCTET STRING)
54.68.69.73.20.44.65.76.69.63.65.20.69.73.20.72.75.6E.6E.69.6E.67.20.69.
6E.20.43.6F.6D.6D.6F.6E.20.43.72.69.74.65.72.69.61.20.4D.6F.64.65.2E.20.

74.65.63.74.65.64.20.61.6E.64.20.70.72.69.76.61.74.65.20.77.69.72.65.6C.
65.73.73.20.73.79.73.74.65.6D.2E.20.4E.6F.20.75.6E.2D.61.75.74.68.6F.72.

6D.75.73.74.20.68.61.76.65.20.70.72.6F.70.65.72.20.72.69.67.68.74.73.20.
74.6F.20.61.63.63.65.73.73.20.61.6E.64.20.6D.61.6E.61.67.65.20.74.68.69.
73.20.73.79.73.74.65.6D.20.66.72.6F.6D.20.74.68.65.20.61.75.74.68.6F.72.
2B.15.D9.50.20.70.65.72.73.6F.6E.6E.65.6C.2E (hex)

 

 

What could be the reason that snmpget give the "HEX" value but snmpwalk
give the "string"  for the same object with same implementation ?

String is expected J

 

Code for  the get part of wsAceessBanner:

 

char accbanr[MAXCHARS+1] = {'\0'};

 

case IMI_ACCESS_BANNER:

*write_method = imi_write_scalars;

 

      fp = pal_fopen(CCBANRFILE, "r");

      if(fp){

          pal_fgets(accbanr, MAXCHARS+1, fp);

          pal_fclose(fp);

      }

      else {

        strcpy(accbanr, "This Device is running in Common Criteria Mode.
Attention: This is a protected and private wireless system. No
un-authorized access allowed.You must have proper rights to access and
manage this system from the authorized personnel.");

      }

      IMI_SNMP_RETURN_STRING(accbanr, strlen(accbanr)+1);

 

}

 

/********Above macro defined as ******/

 

#define IMI_SNMP_RETURN_STRING(V, L) \

  do { \

     *var_len = L; \

     imi_string_val = (u_char *)V; \

    return (imi_string_val); \

  } while (0)

 

 

Please look at the else part of the code

 

Thanks,

Sanjay
