Hi everyone,
I still have below problem, i hope someone can tell me what is going on. I would very much appreciate it. I can supply log or code if you need it. It seems to be reproducable. I really like to think it is a bug but i can't fathom
the idea no one uses this same setup (snmpv1 code and ipAdEntNetMask).

Many thanks for anyone who wants to put their time into it.
Kind regards,
Alef

It seems that it only occurs when checking a mib instance of type "Ip Address". Is it because i'm using SNMPv1 maybe ?

Strange phenomena. I checked if it might work with the OID instead, so i did:
 root# snmpwalk -On -v 2c -c public localhost ipAdEntNetMask
.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.3.10.0.0.151 = IpAddress: 255.255.255.0
.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.3.127.0.0.1 = IpAddress: 255.0.0.0

So i got the OID alright. I put that in the oid string instead, and what do i get as output?
IP-MIB::ipForwarding.0 = INTEGER: notForwarding(2)
IP-MIB::ipForwarding.0 = INTEGER: notForwarding(2)

Instead of getting the .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.3 OID, it gets the ipforwarding OID again, which, as you can see below, is really different. I can only guess that it 'autocompletes' the OID and gets the nearest OID that matches. After all both ipforwarding and ipAdEntNetMask belong to the same IP-MIB. I can do a snmpwalk with just ipFor as value as well, works just as good.

In any case, i find it strange that it does not work for the string (ipAdEntNetMask) although a full snmpwalk does tell me it's there, and that it does respond to the OID but doesn't get the right value (which hints at me that the ipAdEntNetMask isn't there?)

I hope i'm still making sense :-)

root# snmpwalk -On -v 2c -c public localhost ipForwarding . 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.1.0 = INTEGER: notForwarding(2)

Can anyone tell me why i get :
snmpget: Error building ASN.1 representation

upon running the following code? I just added an extra OID to query by using snprintf to fill a variable with the OID and the ipaddress. Is the buffer to big ? MAX_MSG=256

GLvoid snmp_walk(char *ip_addr)
{
    struct snmp_session session, *ss;
    struct snmp_pdu *pdu;
    struct snmp_pdu *response;
        struct hostent *he;

    oid anOID[MAX_OID_LEN];
    size_t anOID_len = MAX_OID_LEN;

    struct variable_list *vars;
    int status;
    int count=1;
        
        char *oids[OIDS];
        /* For variable OID instances */
        char varbla_buffer[MAX_MSG];
        database *data;
        int i;
        
        /* SNMPv2-MIB */
        oids[0]="sysDescr.0";
        oids[1]="sysUpTime.0";
        oids[2]="sysContact.0";
        oids[3]="sysName.0";
        oids[4]="sysLocation.0";
        /* IP-MIB */
        oids[5]="ipForwarding.0";
snprintf(varbla_buffer,sizeof(varbla_buffer),"ipAdEntNetMask.% s",ip_addr); fprintf(stderr,"varbuffer: %s lenght: %d\n",varbla_buffer,strlen (varbla_buffer));
        oids[6]=varbla_buffer;
        /* IF-MIB */
        oids[7]="ifNumber.0";
