I generated some scalar code using the mib2c tool, which generated code which
looks like the following:
int
handle_ocStbHostSoftwareVersion(netsnmp_mib_handler *handler,
netsnmp_handler_registration *reginfo,
netsnmp_agent_request_info *reqinfo,
netsnmp_request_info *requests)
{
/*
* We are never called for a GETNEXT if it's registered as a
* "instance", as it's "magically" handled for us.
*/
/*
* a instance handler also only hands us one request at a time, so
* we don't need to loop over a list of requests; we'll only get one.
*/
switch (reqinfo->mode) {
case MODE_GET:
snmp_set_var_typed_value(requests->requestvb, ASN_OCTET_STR,
(u_char *)
/* XXX: a pointer to the scalar's data */
,
/*
* XXX: the length of the data in bytes
*/ );
break;
default:
/*
* we should never get here, so this is a really bad error
*/
snmp_log(LOG_ERR,
"unknown mode (%d) in handle_ocStbHostSoftwareVersion\n",
reqinfo->mode);
return SNMP_ERR_GENERR;
}
return SNMP_ERR_NOERROR;
}
In our implementation, the "ocStbHostSoftwareVersion" data is not being
supported right now so there will be no way to obtain thsi data. What is the
best way to handle a SNMP request from the real world asking for this data?
I was thinking about simply returning SNMP_NOSUCHINSTANCE (ie: MFD_SKIP) and
was wondering if this was appropriate or whether another course of action would
be better.
For my "MfD Tables", I can define "valid_columns" in the "xxxxxxx_init_data()"
routine to indicate which columns should be skipped within the table, but I am
not sure how to go about doing this for some scalar values.
