5264.0. "Snmp-VARBIND list information" by TAV02::KALAI () Fri Jun 25 1993 10:56

We are working with LANNET MIB most of the thinks work fine but
We are encountering a problem in using GETEVENT and decoding Enterprise
Specific Traps.If on element in the varbind list is element of a table ,
it's OID comes with an index wich is not decoded and displayed so from
a varbind list
       OID.index = Value
OID gets translated to name according to loaded MIB.
Value is displayed
Index is not displayed.
The index value is relevant for the application and needs to be
decoded and displayed.

We will appreciate some help on this subject.

	Is the Index defined in the VARIABLES clause of the TRAP-TYPE defn.
	in the LANNET mib? If it isn't, then there is no way it can be 
	displayed by DECmcc. All trap variables that are to be displayed by
	DECmcc need to be declared in the VARIABLES clause so that corresponding
	event arguments can be created by MTU and loaded into the dictionary.
	Only objects that are loaded in the dictionary can be shown by DECmcc.

  	R.1

	The index is not defined in the VARIABLES clause of the TRAP-TYPE defn.
	DAN ROMASCANU who wrote the MIB and TRAP-DEF of LANNET insist that
	DECmcc does not behave according to the standards.
	He said that if one element in the varbind list is element of a table 
	,vector known by DECmcc throw the MIB,this one element includes VALUE
	follow by INDEX	in one stream .DECmcc ,always according to DAN,
	supposes to translate this element to VALUE and INDEX according to
	loaded MIB without any definition "in the VARIABLES clause of 
	the TRAP-TYPE defn",DECmcc has to do the difference between scalar
	element and vector element.
	If you want/can  look at the MIB I put it in : 52767::lannet.txt.
        Our problem concern for ex:  

        lntGroupDeEnrolmentTrap  TRAP-TYPE
                ENTERPRISE              LANNET
                VARIABLES  { genGroupType }
                DESCRIPTION
                        " This trap is generated when the sensor board is extra
                        chassis. The information transmitted contains the slot 
                        type of the board. The slot number (genGroupId) defines
                        of the variable genGroupType. The trap is enabled/disab
                        chLntAgGroupEnrollDeenrollTraps."
                ::= 4

                VARIABLES               { genGroupFullConfig }
                DESCRIPTION
                   " The trap is sent when the software error in the agent
                        drivers occurs. The trap is enabled/disabled by chLntAg

	Unfortunately, the SNMP AM does not support that sort of behaviour
	at the moment. I don't know how many generic management stations 
	do at the moment. That's something we might want to add in a future
	version.
