Hi Dave, Many thanks for your response and suggestion.
I would like to inform that I am trying to learn SNMP form William Stallings SNMP,SNMPV2,Snmpv3,and RMON 1 and 2. In this book it is mentioned that noSuchInstance will be put in the value field .But it was not clear for me that it is a different type it self. I would earnestly request you to suggest how SNMP can be learned in better manner. Regards, Somenath >> I would like to verify my understanding. >> So "noSuchInstance" is a ASN1 type. > >Sort of. >See RFC 1905, section 3 for the definition of the VarBind structure. > > > >> I would like to know more about how the coding is being done.
