[SNMP4J] console tool (SnmpRequest) returns an incorrect value

[Frank Fock]

Hi Erik,

With the console tool, you have to explicitly specify
the PDU type, since there are no different flavors
of the tool like in NET-SNMP for each PDU type.
The default is GETNEXT, and so, the behavior is
correct.

Simply specify "-t GET" as option and you will receive
the expected result.

Best regards,
Frank
