Re: OID format and MIB

Hi Allesandro,

Sure, MIB declaration have types for each leaf oid it have declared, but
unfortunatelly I'm not sure if the SNMP Poller you use is using type
presented in MIB.

I think that SNMP Poller you use is doing it's type assumptions based on
SNMP PDU type it receives, so I think that it wouldn't be possible to trick
your SNMP Poller to use/parse data based on MIB type.

Regards,
Fedor

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
