You have to read the whole text. An snmpEngineID has a syntax of OCTET STRING (SIZE(5..32)) If the first bit of the snmpEngineID is 0 and it is 12 octets long then it might have been generated using the algorithm described in bullet 2 which is copied from rfc1910. If the first bit is 1 then it is generated in accordance with one of the methods in bullet 3 (or RFC5343) but it is important to notice that bullets 1-3 are just an recommended algorithm, not a mandatory one so you should treat snmpEngineID a a variable length string and not attempt to parse it. /MF _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-coders mailing list Net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-coders
