I'm not surprised. In fact, I don't think that we ought to support it either. The only place where this is mentioned in the SMI documentation is in the discussion of "de-OSIfying MIBs". So I suspect it's not actually a valid SNMP syntax type. > So my fear is that "BIT STRING" is very seldom used, and it could be > better (but not so elegant) to use the INTEGER data type instead. Why not have a look at the (SMIv2) BITS type. This *is* valid in SNMP, and should be supported by other toolkits as well. Dave PS: Please - no HTML mail.
