Have you tried variations on the command line snmpwalk using -On and
-Of. (that's the letter O, not a zero). These can help you figure out
exactly what object you're seeing responses to. You should also read
the snmpcmd man page. I haven't seen a net-snmp FAQ yet, but someone
has probably created one.
The following is from the RFC1213 MIB (another good starting point, read
the MIB files.. Some can be dry as dust and more than a little arcane
but the MIBs define what you can measure).
atTable OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX SEQUENCE OF AtEntry
ACCESS not-accessible
STATUS deprecated
DESCRIPTION
"The Address Translation tables contain the
NetworkAddress to `physical' address equivalences.
Some interfaces do not use translation tables for
determining address equivalences (e.g., DDN-X.25
has an algorithmic method); if all interfaces are
of this type, then the Address Translation table
is empty, i.e., has zero entries."
::= { at 1 }
$ snmpwalk -On -v 2c -c readcommunity FQDN sysContact.0
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0 = STRING:
$ snmpwalk -Of -v 2c -c readcommunity FQDN sysContact.0
.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysContact.0 = STRING:
Capture the walk from .iso to a file to make your investigation easier.
$ snmpwalk -Of -v 2c -c readcommunity FQDN iso > filename
Good Luck,
