Hi Greeting:
I try to add support to return the Linux interface counter from my agent.
The Net-Snmp version is 5.1.2. I've received the suggestion to upgrade to 5.2.2
which has the implementation of ifXTable for Linux interface. I tried to move
my agent to 5.2.2. For some reason the agent crashed. I can't upgrade to 5.2.2
for a while even I resolve the crash problem because some other front end
application (written by other developer) will have too much change if the
Net-SNMP version is upgraded. So I have to find a work around with the current
version - 5.1.2.
I was suggested to try to modify the source code in NET-SNMP 5.1.2 in the
V1 handling of interface to return 0 for the unknown object (the counters not
found in the device) so the polling to the interface ifindex won't be aborted
just for one single unknown counter. Is this feasible? It seems the interface
implementation in V1 the entire polling is failed and dropped if one of the
counter is not found even all the other are found. Is this true? Which file to
be modified if I want to change the return of the unknown counter (e.g. the
ifInNUcastPkts) with value 0 so the rest successful polling counters can be
returned?
Thanks in advance for any pointer.
Thanks,
-Jim
