Don't jam a square peg into a round hole. Counter64 objects have a
defined syntax, which is why they are never to be settable. These are the only
64 bit objects available, but you can always construct an unsigned 64 bit value
out of 2 32 bit unsigned values, specifying one to be the lower bits and the
other to be the upper bits. You must guarantee that reads and writes are
simultaneous for the two within an SNMP operation, or bad things will happen.
Another alternative is to use OCTET STRING (SIZE (0..7)). Neither allows basic
tools such as snmpget to display the value, BTW.
HTH,
Mike
