Hi,

There is no "correct" maxRepetitions. Any value is "correct".
The agent decides how many repetitions it will provide based on
local contraints and measures. Some agent never return more
than one, others up to the maximum packet size, others by
timing constraints.
Thus, you can never know how many repetitions there will be returned.

BTW, OIDs do NOT start with a dot character. Simply
write

new OID("1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.1")

Best regards,
Frank

Hi everybody
       I was executing a getTable in snmp4j on entitymib. I defined the
following columns like  following sample code

           public static OID[] getColumnOIDs() {
         if (equipmentColumns != null) return equipmentColumns;
         equipmentColumns = new OID[11];
         equipmentColumns[0] = new OID(".1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.1");
//entPhysicalIndex
         equipmentColumns[1] = new OID(".1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.2");
//entPhysicalDescr
         equipmentColumns[2] = new OID(".1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.3");
//entPhysicalVendorType
         equipmentColumns[3] = new OID(".1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.4");
//entPhysicalContainedIn
         equipmentColumns[4] = new OID(".1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.5");
//entPhysicalClass
         equipmentColumns[5] = new OID(".1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.6");
//entPhysicalParentRelPos
         equipmentColumns[6] = new OID(".1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.7");
//entPhysicalName
         equipmentColumns[7] = new OID(".1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.13");
//entPhysicalModelName
         equipmentColumns[8] = new OID(".1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.14");
//entPhysicalAlias
         equipmentColumns[9] = new OID(".1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.16");
//entPhysicalFru if is fixed
         equipmentColumns[10] = new
OID(".1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.11");//entPhysicalSerialNum
         return equipmentColumns;
          }

        when I using it with getTable in the snmp4j with following code (
the columnOIDs are equipmentColumns from above example)

         public List snmpGetTable(OID[] columnOIDs, OID lowerBoundIndex, OID
upperBoundIndex) throws IOException {
         List result = null;
         TableUtils tableUtils = new TableUtils(this.snmp, new
DefaultPDUFactory(PDU.GETBULK));
         tableUtils.setMaxNumRowsPerPDU(maxRepetitions);
         result = tableUtils.getTable(this.comtarget, columnOIDs,
lowerBoundIndex, upperBoundIndex);
         return result;
       }

When i test it,I found that setting different maxRepetitions will get
different answers. When I set maxRepetitions to 4
,it return total number of 1428 records. When I set maxRepetitions  to 10,
it return total number of 1518 records. When set to 20,it return total
number of 1528 records. It made me very crazy.

I want to know why and how to set the right maxRepetitions  in order to
avoid this. It seems that different types of device need to set different
  maxRepetitions. Is there a way to calculate the correct maxRepetitions ?

Best regards
