Hi Dave,
Actually I am getting wrong engine TIME in wireshark capture
I am reading the engine Time using the function
"snmpv3_local_snmpEngineTime()"
While I was debugging the code I had the some doubt, It might be
engineType which affecting it.
What could be the reason of wrong Engine Creation Time. It is showing
sometime 2191 or sometme 1909 ...............
rgds,
Sanjay
