2248.0. "SNMP Table access fails on SINTROM" by LARVAE::POETT () Fri Jan 31 1992 13:05


We have recently worked with Sintrom Datanet in the UK who produce
a network quality analyser (SNMP POD) to monitor the condition of 
Ethernet/802.3 networks using SNMP.

The private MIB makes extensive use of tables with multiple key fields. 
One example is a table containing network load history over a range of time
intervals. For example, to access their SNMP object nlh1sTable 
(nlh1sTable=Network Load History 1 second Table) the date and time fields 
are used as keys.

When looking into the table from the Iconic Map Operations menu the keys are 
returned as two identicle hex values. e.g.

nlh1sTable (%X005C011F000E2137,%X005C011F000E2137) which translate to the date
and time.

Trying to access table entries then returns -attribute not gettable -

The suggestion from Sintrom is that we are not handling the keys correctly. 
They claim to have sucessfully linked with other SNMP management systems.

Our system is DECmcc BMS V1.1, SNMP AM V1.1, VAXstation 3100 Mod 76, VMS 5.4

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

Best regards,

Dave

	The SNMP AM can handle upto 1 octet string in a multiple key index.
	Two or more octet strings in a table index will cause it to break.
	I don't know if there is any plan to have it fixed for V1.2.
