Unsigned32 reported as Gauge32

[Kelvin Moss]

Hi all,

 

I have used Unsigned32 counter type in my mib --

 

xxxEvents  OBJECT-TYPE
    SYNTAX      Unsigned32
    MAX-ACCESS  read-only
    STATUS      current
    DESCRIPTION
        "some events"
    DEFVAL { 0 }
    ::= { myMIB 1 }

When I later retrive it using snmpwalk/snmpget, it gets reported as Gauge32

 

snmpget -c mycomm -v 2c localhost My-MIB::xxxEvents.0
My-MIB::xxxEvents.0 = Gauge32: 0

 

What is the reason for this ?

 

Thanks in advance.
