hi, SNMP agents like MIB Browsers, Net-SNMP requires the MIB to be compiled.This means, the agent is aware of the mapping between the Integer and the mnemonic association which is defined in MIB.Actually, the device would return an Integer value, as it is defined in the MIB. After receiving the SNMP PDU, the agents like Net-SNMP would map the Integer vlaue to the mnemonic ( UP/Down in this case). You have to check if similar mapping can be doing using Snmp4j also, but cannot expect the device to send the value.This is my understanding.ThanksRaghuram.Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2006 10:51:51 -0400 From: \"Marchiano, Stephen\" Subject: [SNMP4J] Integer32 State Value To: Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"us-ascii\" Hi, When using an SNMP agent such as Net-SNMP to get MIB values (using the command \"snmpget\"), I noticed that some of the returned Integer32 values include a label to identify the name of the state. For example, the MIB named \"ifAdminStatus\" (1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.7) will return an instance value in this format: IF-MIB::ifAdminStatus.1 = INTEGER: up(1) However, running a similar command in SNMP4J will return only the integer value, and not the name of the state. So I was wondering whether there is anyway to have the SNMP request return the name of the state, if it exists, rather than the integer for the Integer32 syntax type. Any suggestions on how I might be able to do this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much! Best regards, Stephen Marchiano stephen.marchiano at ca.com
