My apologies. I've just realised that the CVS source tree on my local desktop is somewhat out of date, and the MIB file *has* since been updated to the new version. > So the tools should know what to expect and how to display it. Yes - they should. In which case, my suspicion is that the tools may be picking up a previously-installed version of this MIB file, which still has the older definitions. If you run "locate IP-FORWARD-MIB", what does it list? Do all of these files contain the new version? > If i do a snmpget on one of the "overlong OID's", i can > retrieve the same value as the "snmpwalk" can. As expected. > If i do an snmpget further up the tree such as > "ip.24.6"/"ip.24.6.0" (inetCidrRouteNumber), > I get "No such object on this agent at this OID". Ummm.... A quick scan of the code doesn't reveal anything that seems to mention this particular scalar object. I'm wondering whether Robert has actually implemented it. If not, then "noSuchObject" would be the correct response. > Looking with "ethereal" is see the same overlong OID's > as those shown by snmpwalk. Yes - you would. All on-the-wire traffic will use numeric OIDs anyway. It's only the client side that converts these into readable names. > Since "ethereal" A.F.I.K. do not care about MIB's, > I think that it is the Agent that is broken Possible, but unlikely. The agent doesn't care about MIB files either. Everything is hardcoded to use numeric values, and the packet dump you posted looks correct. It's much more likely that the tools aren't picking up the correct version of the MIB file.
