[SNMP4J] Counter32 with wrong value

[Owen, Philip]

Hi,
 
I am trying to retrieve a Coutner32 value using an SNMP get with SNMP4J,
but am getting the wrong value. Whether I use the code I wrote (based on
the examples in the documentation), or using the SNMP4J executable I
still get the same result.
 
The snmpget command and the Net::SNMP Perl library both agree on what
the value should be, although if memory serves, they both use the same
back-end libraries.
 
SNMP4J:
C:\snmp4j\tool>SNMP4J.exe -c public -v 2c router
1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.35.1.4.3.1.1.2.363251293
19-Jun-2007 10:17:52 org.snmp4j.log.JavaLogAdapter log
INFO: UDP receive buffer size for socket 192.168.4.135/0 is set to: 8192
Received response after 94 millis
Response received with requestID=500261284, errorIndex=0,
errorStatus=Success(0)
 
1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.35.1.4.3.1.1.2.363251294 = 6746487
 
snmpget:
[user at hostname ~]$ snmpget -c public -v 2c -On router
1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.35.1.4.3.1.1.2.363251293
.1.3.6.1.4.1.4874.2.2.35.1.4.3.1.1.2.363251293 = Counter32: 473269566
 
I can see no reason why these values are so different. The OID in
question is row index 363251293 of a table (no, they don't start at 1
:-) ) if that matters.
 
It does not seem to affect all entries on this table, most of them come
through okay, but this is the biggest value I have seen so far.

I tried getting SNMP4J.exe to retrieve using getTable() but cannot get
it to return the right row index. I know that is a separate issue, but
thought it might help to see what value it obtained that way. Maybe I am
just not specifying the lower and upper bounds properly.
 
Thanks,
 
Philip.
