Hi, I've been doing some work lately with using the mib2c perl support and Support.pm and have hit a bit of a problem. The getnext table handling breaks if the index is variable length (e.g. and oid or string index).
The code expects to be able to zero out all the index oid components and eventually match against something in the built up table of handled oids, but if the length of the index has changed then the additional zeroes will never match anything. As far as I can tell, a reasonable fix would be for mib2c to populate the table with the base oid (rather than the base oid appended with a zero per index), and then for the check for a handler to do a proper parentage check). I'm not going to get a chance to work on this for a while but thought I'd raise it here in-case anyone already has a fix. [I know variable length indexes are nasty, but we don't all get to design our mibs :)] -- Tristan Colgate-McFarlane Senior Network Administrator Sporting Index Ltd Telephone: +44 (0)20 7840 4022 Mobile: +44 (0)7900690912 Fax: +44 (0)20 7840 4101 email: tcolg...@sportingindex.com web: www.sportingindex.com MSN: tcolg...@sportingindex.com ********************************************************************** This email and any attachments are confidential, protected by copyright and may be legally privileged.
