In rfc2578 “Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2)” it is mentioned that enumeration is not supported for OCTET STRING ,

I have OID designed as follows,

CountryCode OBJECT-TYPE

SYNTAX OCTET STRING {

None(NONE),

United States(US),

Andorra(AD)

}

MAX-ACCESS read-write

STATUS current

DESCRIPTION

" country code

::= { mibCountryEntry 30 }

When I verified the above OID design with agent, my manager (iReasoning mib browser) able to resolve the enumerated values …

i.e when my agent sends “US” , manager showed it as “United States” …

I am not sure whether the above design is correct. (enum of OCTET STRING syntax)

Can anyone tell me about this?

Thanks
