Method Details

getSecurityParametersPosition

int getSecurityParametersPosition()

Gets the byte position of the first byte (counted from zero) of the security parameters in the whole message.

Returns:

the position of the first byte (counted from zero) of the security parameters in the whole SNMP message. -1 is returned, when the position is unknown (not set).

setSecurityParametersPosition

void setSecurityParametersPosition(int pos)

Sets the position of the first byte (counted from zero) of the security parameters in the whole SNMP message.

Parameters:

pos - an integer value greater or equal than zero.

getBERMaxLength

int getBERMaxLength(int securityLevel)

Gets the maximum length of the BER encoded representation of this SecurityParameters instance.

Parameters:

securityLevel - the security level to be used.

Returns:

the maximum BER encoded length in bytes.
