smilint bug for AGENT-CAPABILITIES
by Andy Bierman 29 Apr '03

29 Apr '03

Hi, I am getting the following error message for a valid AGENT-CAPABILITIES file, related to a DEFVAL clause: ./CISCO-CAS-IF-CAPABILITY.my.1.0:74: [2] default value syntax does not match object syntax snippet from source file: VARIATION ccasVoiceCfgNonLinearProcEnable DEFVAL { true } DESCRIPTION "The initial value is 'true'." The object is defined in the CISCO-CAS-IF-MIB as SYNTAX TruthValue. program version: smilint 0.4.1 Andy

Is there a reason why the folloing line is commented out for the indexes in the dump-xsd.c file? Now most infomation is missing, such as oid. fprintAnnotationElem( f, smiNode ); Steve

problem restricting TimeTicks - bad error message???
by Pete Flugstad 31 Mar '03

31 Mar '03

I have encountered a mib (full mib attached) with the following entry: testInteger OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX TimeTicks (500..12000) MAX-ACCESS read-write STATUS current DESCRIPTION "Test Integer" ::= { testObjects 1 } When I run this through libsmi (0.4.1), smilint, I get: test.mib:22: the SPPI construct/keyword `MAX-ACCESS' may not be used in a MIB and it bails. It's pointing at the SYNTAX line. Now, I don't claim to be a SMIv2 expert, but I believe the syntax is OK, isn't it? Maybe not? Even if it's not, the error message is completely wrong and misleading, as the problem has nothing at all to do with the MAX-ACCESS line.

Traversing nodes
by Garth R Conrad 19 Mar '03

19 Mar '03

Hi, I'm new to libsmi and have a question that is probably easy but is baffling me. I've written some code that deals with a single mib module ("A"). I want to traverse all the nodes in depth-first order (or "tree pre-order", as the documentation says). I use smiLoadModule(), followed by smiGetFirstNode() and smiGetNextNode() to loop through the nodes. This works as expected - I see the nodes defined in A in depth-first order. Now I'm trying to generalize my code to load N modules at program startup. After loading all the modules, is there a way to loop through all the nodes defined in _any_ of those modules so that the nodes are returned in depth-first order? If so, how? Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks, Garth Conrad IBM Communications Server for MVS

RE: [libsmi] DEFVAL in xsd output

Will this show up in the TODO (http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/projects/libsmi/TODO.html) section of the site so I watch for this support?

DEFVAL in xsd output
by Steve Bucknam 15 Mar '03

15 Mar '03

Is DEFVAL supported in smidump with xsd format? I have many defvals defined for different syntax types. The default values do not show up in the xsd output (at least, not in a way that is obvious to me). For example: tsPartnerImportInitiate OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX INTEGER { true(1), false(2) } MAX-ACCESS read-write STATUS current DESCRIPTION "initiate the import operation for this tsPartner." DEFVAL { false } ::= { tsPartnerEntry 4 } Results in XSD output of: <xsd:element name="tsPartnerImportInitiate" minOccurs="0"> <xsd:annotation> <xsd:appinfo> <maxAccess>read-write</maxAccess> <oid>1.3.6.1.4.1.2500.1.1.8.1.2.1.1.4</oid> <status>current</status> </xsd:appinfo> <xsd:documentation> initiate the import operation for this tsPartner. </xsd:documentation> </xsd:annotation> <xsd:simpleType> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:NMTOKEN"> <xsd:enumeration value="true"> <xsd:annotation> <xsd:appinfo> <intVal>1</intVal> </xsd:appinfo> </xsd:annotation> </xsd:enumeration> <xsd:enumeration value="false"> <xsd:annotation> <xsd:appinfo> <intVal>2</intVal> </xsd:appinfo> </xsd:annotation> </xsd:enumeration> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> </xsd:element>

New libsmi Web Pages
by Kristine Adamson 12 Mar '03

12 Mar '03

Hi, I have been using the libsmi web site pages for a while now and appreciate all the detailed information that has been provided on the web site. I have been using the web site via MS Windows 2000 Netscape and had no problems. Since the change to the web site pages, I can't view the information well anymore. The frame(??) with the list of Home, Library, Tools, etc. takes up the whole window and I have to scroll far to the right to see the actual text. I realize fewer people are using Netscape these days but if anyone knows how to fix this, I would appreciate the information. So then I switched to using MS Windows 2000 IE. Most of the pages look fine with IE but when I select any of the _man_ pages I have to scroll to the right to view all the text. This is much less convenient that it used to be when the full text was displayed within the window without having to scroll. Is there a way to correct this in IE? I tried changing the text size to "smallest" but I still have to scroll to the right to view all the text. We usually use the online documentation instead of printing pages from the web site. That way we ensure we have the latest information on a function. While we appreciate that the web site is well maintained, the recent changes make it more cumbersome to use the online documentation.

SmiType handling
by Pete Flugstad 12 Mar '03

12 Mar '03

I'm having some issues with the SmiType handling. Specifically, when is the name parameter NULL, and when isn't it? If I load rfc1907, and get the node for sysDescr then get the type for that node, the name field is NULL. If I then get the parent type, there I see that the name field has "DisplayString" in it. However, if I load a test mib I wrote, which imports DisplayString, and has a variable of syntax DisplayString, the type structure for that variable has DisplayString in the name (without having to look at the parent). I don't see what distinguishes these two cases? Why in one case do I have to go the parent type to find the DisplayString "name" while in the other case I don't? Both import DisplayString from SNMPv2-TC. Also, rfc1907 imports TimeStamp from SNMPv2-TC, but sysORLastChange has TimeStamp directly in the name field of it's type. Again, why is DisplayString part of the parent type, while TimeStamp is not? Can someone explain this seeming inconsistency? Thanks, Pete Flugstad

New libsmi Web Pages
by Frank Strauss 11 Mar '03

11 Mar '03

Hi! I've just updated the libsmi web site. This was done primarily to ease future web site maintenance (we replaced WML by system of XML/XSL stuff some months ago, so since then the libsmi pages were quite static). The content changed only in minor aspects: I've added a few words on the smilint mail service, on our efforts on mappings of MIBs to XML Schema definitions, and I felt the need to say thanks to all contributors I'm aware of. The outdated list of MIBs and MIB errors and patches has gone, since the lists provided by Bill Fenner (http://www.icir.org/fenner/mibs/) are better and well maintained. -frank PS: A colleague had problems with his MS Windows IE, that could not present some of the new pages. I don't care a lot, because I verified that it's valid HTML 4.01 and CSS, but if anyone has a good explaination and fix, I would appriciate any hints.

imported object not found
by Steve Bucknam 07 Mar '03

The following does not work: barMib Imports fooObject, from fooMib barObj OBJECT-TYPE ... ::= {fooObject 2} To make it work, I (re)defined 'fooObject' locally in barMib (by importing fooObject's parent). Steve
