- I have been able to get RFC 1158 to work correctly with the CMU snmp
- implementation, except for OIDs that need "parameters" (probably not the
- right term) By that I mean, say for the AT table, the parameter would be the ip
- address of the address resolution table entry you want. Those OIDs
- that need parameters do not work with our CMU snmpget/snmptest.
-
- Examining the RFC itself, I cannot find any description of the need
- for the parameter. That is, examining the (SMI) entry
- of the AT table OIDs in RFC 1158, one does not find a formal definition
- of the need of a parameter. The need for the parameter is defined in
- a different RFC (1098, which, of course, CMU never sees.)
-
- So how does CMU know that an atTable mib needs a parameter? When I try
- to give it one, it gives a seg fault (in proc parse_subtree()) .
-
- Does anyone out there know of a way to solve this problem?
