Smilint Queries
by Tim Riches 28 Jan '02

28 Jan '02

Hi, I have some notes regarding the operation of smilint 0.3.0 (under NT/cygwin 1.3.9 environment), used as d:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\smilint -s -i import-unused -l 6 mibfile: 1. smilint seems to require SYNTAX clause before an enumerated DEFVAL clause in an AC VARIATION clause, otherwise: 'D:\DATA\SNMPmibs\CDXC1616-AC.MIB:423: [2] default value syntax does not match object syntax' is output. Although once it's used, further SYNTAX statements for further VARIATION clauses of the same type are not required within the same SUPPORTS clause. But another SUPPORTS clause needs to repeat the SYNTAX statement. 2. Within an AGENT-CAPABILITIES macro, if an object within a group which is not within an INCLUDES clause, but is mentioned in a subsequent VARIATION clause, should a warning or error of some sort be generated? 3. Smilint never seems to mind if hyphens are left in object or TC names, even when it knows the mib must be SMIv2. Example for 1: IMPORTS : : : : augBidirectional, sdhNE, opticalSPITTPBidirectional, rsTTPTrailTraceBidirectional, msTTPBidirectional, au4CTPBidirectionalR1, vc4TTPBidirectionalR1 FROM WD-G774-MIB; : : : : SUPPORTS WD-G774-MIB INCLUDES { sdhNE, opticalSPITTPBidirectional, rsTTPTrailTraceBidirectional, msTTPBidirectional, au4CTPBidirectionalR1, vc4TTPBidirectionalR1 } : : : : VARIATION g774SdhNEAdministrativeState SYNTAX AdministrativeState -- <===== Need this line ACCESS read-only DEFVAL { unlocked } -- <===== Else this is rejected DESCRIPTION "It will not be possible to set this attribute value from the management station. It will indicate unlocked, or possibly shutting down." VARIATION g774OSPITTPBiAdministrativeState ACCESS read-only -- <===== SYNTAX now not needed DEFVAL { unlocked } DESCRIPTION "It will not be possible to set this attribute value from the management station. It will indicate unlocked, or possibly shutting down." : : : : Example for 2: IMPORTS : : : : augBidirectional, sdhNE, opticalSPITTPBidirectional, rsTTPTrailTraceBidirectional, msTTPBidirectional, au4CTPBidirectionalR1, vc4TTPBidirectionalR1 FROM WD-G774-MIB; : : : : SUPPORTS WD-G774-MIB INCLUDES { sdhNE, opticalSPITTPBidirectional, rsTTPTrailTraceBidirectional, msTTPBidirectional, au4CTPBidirectionalR1, vc4TTPBidirectionalR1 } : : : : VARIATION augBidirectional -- <===== GROUP not part of INCLUDES DESCRIPTION "Not supported at present, all msTTPBidirectional and protectedTTPBidirectional objects will 'contain' au4CTPBidirectionalR1 objects directly as there is a 1:1 containment relationship between AUG and MS TTP for ETSI systems" VARIATION g774AugBiAugId -- <===== object not part of INCLUDES DESCRIPTION "Not supported at present, all msTTPBidirectional and protectedTTPBidirectional objects will 'contain' au4CTPBidirectionalR1 objects directly as there is a 1:1 containment relationship between AUG and MS TTP for ETSI systems" : : : : Any comments would be appreciated - Thanks for a great set of tools!

smidump jax notification bug
by Brian Remick 28 Jan '02

28 Jan '02

Hello, There is a pretty major bug in the jax output for smidump in the dumpNotifications() function. Basically, for each variable in the notification, the constructor of the notification class does the following: oid = var_OID; oid.appendImplied(...) varBind = new AgentXVarBind(oid, ...); However, each of the var_OID member variables are declared as static, so additional values are continuously appended to them as more notifications are sent. The easiest fix for this is to remove the static declaration of these variables, I think. That way, a new set of variables will be instantiated with each notification class. Needless to say, this leads to many problems after a lot of notifications have been sent. The AgentXReader in the jax code begins to throw exceptions, since the OIDs become extremely long. Thanks, Brian Remick University of Utah

RE: [libsmi] has anyone tried to compile libsmi 0.3.0 on AIX 4.3. 3?
by HOOD, Andy 25 Jan '02

25 Jan '02

Hmmm, bad style. Replying to your own posts. Yes it will compile on AIX. Add CPPFLAGS=-DYY_USE_PROTOS to the make command - otherwise the "#define YY_DECL ..." in scanner-smi.l and scanner-sming.l don't expand the prototypes, leaving lvalp and parser undefined Rename the static variable regex in tools/dump-scli.c - there's a name clash in <regex.h> There appears to be a typo in tools/ smidiff.c in the "switch (oldNode->nodekind) {" starting at line 1737. Should the printErrorAtLine call be inside the switch? If not there needs to be a semicolon before the closing brace. The compiler will not accept : followed by } Regards, Andrew Hood A distributed system is one in which the failure of a computer you didn't even know existed can render your own computer unusable. -- Leslie Lamport, as quoted in CACM, June 1992 -----Original Message----- From: HOOD, Andy Sent: Wednesday, 23 January 2002 10:39 To: 'libsmi(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de' Subject: [libsmi] has anyone tried to compile libsmi on AIX 4.3.3?

Re: [libsmi] Libsmi into a Library

Hi! Amit> But when I try to use functions like smiLeaveLexRecursion() also. Amit> And I compile my code then I get the error message as: Amit> Mibcompiler.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl Amit> smiLeaveLexRecursion(void)" (?smiLeaveLexRecursion@@YAXXZ) You never do call smiLeaveLexRecursion() from your application. It is not documented. It is not in smi.h. It is not an API function. Why do you intend to call that internal function? -frank PS: please send your messages to the mailinglist.

Libsmi into a Library
by Save, Amit Prabhakar (Amit) 22 Jan '02

22 Jan '02

Hi, I have libsmi-0.2.16 on my Win NT platform. I was able to create the smi.lib and other .exe by running nmake under libsmi-0.2.16/win. Now, I do not want to create smidump.exe, but I want to create a whole Library which should hold all the .objs of LIBSMIOBJS and SMIDUMPOBJS form makefile So that instaed of calling smidump.exe, I can make calls to functions like initIdentifiers() or initImports() etcc. from my code. Will you just let me know if this is possible or not ? If so what is that I have got to do ? Thanks & regards, Amit Save "Gravity cannot be held responsible for people falling in love." -- Albert Einstein

Mailinglist modifications at ibr.cs.tu-bs.de
by Frank Strauss 20 Jan '02

20 Jan '02

Dear Mailinglist-Owners and Mailinglist-Subscribers, the mail server at ibr.cs.tu-bs.de has been moved to a new machine, upgraded to a new MTA release and configuration and its former mailinglist manager Majordomo has been replaced by the Mailman software. The latter modification will cause a few changes that will affect you as well either as a mailinglist user or especially as a mailinglist admin (owner), although all subscriber lists and all major settings have been converted and are already used with the new software. The general mailinglist manager address <majordomo(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> is no longer active. Instead, all control messages have to be sent to addresses of the form <xxx-request(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de>. Please send a message containing the word `help' to the appropriate address of the list that you are subscribed to, if you want to learn about the commands supported by Mailman. A new and very powerful feature is the Web interface of Mailman. It allows you to configure all of your subscription parameters, and it allows list admins to fine-tune a whole lot of parameters. If you are an admin of one or more of the lists served at ibr.cs.tu-bs.de, I beg you to take some time and check & edit your lists' setups via the administrative interface. Some of the configuration semantics might have changed slightly and need adjustment, e.g. in case of posting restrictions. If you have further questions that cannot easily be answered by the online documentation or if you have lost your list administration password, please contact <mailman-owner(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de>. Subscriber passwords can be requested to be sent by email via the Web interface. You will find the Mailman Web interface (along with further documentation) at https://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/mailman, or http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/mailman Have fun, -frank -- Frank Strauss strauss(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Technical University Braunschweig http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/~strauss/ Institute of Operating Systems & Computer Networks Phone: +49 531 391-3266 Muehlenpfordtstrasse 23, 38106 Braunschweig, Germany Fax: +49 531 391-5936

Synatx Details
by Sanjay M 18 Jan '02

18 Jan '02

Hi, 1. How I can extract the specific information about the Syntax of an particular attributes, i.e., Counter, Gauge, IpAddress etc. As of now I am able to get only some basic data types such as Integer, Float, Enum etc by using m_pSmiType = smiGetNodeType(m_pSmiNode); Basetype = m_pSmiType->basetype ; but I am unable to get the information if the attribute is defined as a IpAddress. How I can get these information using the smi library. 2. I think there is two "MAX-ACCESS" type is missed from the SmiAccess, they are "write-only" and "read-create" regards Sanjay __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

alphabetic to numeric conversion
by Arie Trost 18 Jan '02

18 Jan '02

Hi, Is there an example in libsmi distribution kit (or elsewhere) how one could convert an object identifier from alphabetic representation to numeric representation? For example, convert "system.sysDescr.0" to "1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0" (assuming, of course, that relevant MIB module has been already loaded into libsmi). Thank You, Arie. -- !!
