5565.0. "MIB with negativ values" by ZUR01::SCHNEIDERR () Mon Sep 06 1993 11:09

hello

I have a MIB question.In the original MIB we have some lines like:



pppLCPState OBJECT TYPE
        SYNTAX INTEGER {
                not-availible(-1),     <--- inportant line
                lcp-CLOSED(0),
                lcp-LISTEN(1),
                ....
                }


This gives us the MS file

        .....
                not-availible=1		<---- important lines
                lcp-CLOSED=0		   |
                lcp-LISTEN=1		<---
        ....


You see, we have two times the value 1. After that the Dictionary-update
crashes. Does the MIBcompiler understand negativ values?

	Roland, DECmcc does not support negative values in enumerations. You will have to comment out the enumeration in the mib before translating it. This means you will see the actual integer value displayed for the attribute rather than the associated text. Rahul.
5565.2	Thanks, a last question	ZUR01::SCHNEIDERR	`Wed Sep 08 1993 02:57`	14
	Rahul. Thanks !!! I'm not very familiar with the ASN1. Maybe after all the MIB problems I had till now I should learn it (maybe during night I will find some time). What do you mean by: > This means you will see the actual integer value displayed for > the attribute rather than the associated text. Regards Roland

	I mean you will see something like pppLCPState = -1 instead of pppLCPState = not-available Rahul.
