Hi,

Running 1.6.3
Imported ifIndex from RFC1213-MIB

   testClientTable OBJECT-TYPE
        SYNTAX     SEQUENCE OF TestClientEntry
        MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
        STATUS     current
        DESCRIPTION
           "Associated client table."
        ::= { testClientObjects 1 }

    testClientEntry OBJECT-TYPE
        SYNTAX     TestClientEntry
        MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
        STATUS     current
        DESCRIPTION
            "Specifies each client entry."
        INDEX { ifIndex, testClientAddress }
        ::= { vivatoClientTable 1 }

    ...

   testClientAddress OBJECT-TYPE
        SYNTAX     MacAddress
        MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
        STATUS     current
        DESCRIPTION
            "An index into the table. (Mac)Address of the client."
        ::= { testClientEntry 1 }
   ...
 
Explorer complains:
invalid index definition because
ifIndex may be negative (RFC2578 §7.7).

What would be the problem ?

Thanks
