Re: [libsmi] Unloading modules
by winston 12 Jun '03

Thanks for the information. Why do I want to do this is because the MIB filenames are different than their internal module names (I can't change the filenames). And so they are not loaded automatically. I was trying to load each module by their filenames but it crashes at nth module. I think it crashes because I don't load them in the right order - the imported module first, etc. This is why I was trying to get information about imported modules, so I read all imports, unload the module, load the next one, etc. And this way since I have the dependencies I can load them in the right order. soso > > >>>>> winston writes: > > winston> Is it possible to completely unload a module without > winston> unloading the whole library - through smiExit? > > No. > > winston> Also, is it possible to know the names of "imported" modules > winston> in a module without having to load them? > > The parser automatically loads imported modules (which in most cases > is needed unless you have unused imports) so the answer is no.

Unloading modules
by winston 12 Jun '03

12 Jun '03

Hello, Is it possible to completely unload a module without unloading the whole library - through smiExit? Also, is it possible to know the names of "imported" modules in a module without having to load them? Thanks in advance, soso ______________________________________________________________________ Do you want a free e-mail for life ? Get it at http://www.email.ro/

smilib crash
by winston 09 Jun '03

09 Jun '03

Hello, I'm using the latest version of smilib 1.41 on Win32 with success. Everything was well for a month until i needed to load some new mibs. With these new mibs the library it crashes when i try to load the mibs using smiLoadModule. Note that I am loading them randomly as I don't know what modules each module requires until I have loaded them. But if I load them some other order the library does not crash. Do you have any idea why this happes? Thanks in advance, soso ______________________________________________________________________ Do you want a free e-mail for life ?

strings in defvals
by Juergen Schoenwaelder 28 May '03

28 May '03

Taken from a thread on <mibs(a)ops.ietf.org> so that it does not get lost. The libsmi does not complain on constructions like the following: sFlowCollectorAddress OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX InetAddress MAX-ACCESS read-write STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The IP address of the sFlow collector. If set to 0.0.0.0 all sampling is disabled." DEFVAL { "0.0.0.0" } ::= { sFlowEntry 9 } [This is taken from the SFLOW-MIB published in RFC 3176.] In general, I am not sure how smart libsmi checks DEFVAL values against the type constraints. But since libsmi has some build-in knowledge of well known types such as InetAddress, it might be able to at least detect some special cases like this one. [Frank, it is fine to just add this to one of these TODO lists. ;-] /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder International University Bremen Phone: +49 421 200 3587 P.O.

size restriction for Object Identifier used as an Table Index....
by Vivekanandan V 28 May '03

28 May '03

Hi, When Iam using an object Identifier as an Index to a Table, Iam getting an error in libsmi tool, saying that the OID size can exceed the limit by 24 subIdentifiers. To my knowledge, I think that we cannot impose a size restriction on Object Identifier data type. So, whether this warning is valid and if so what should I do to remove this warning.

Status/TODO for tool: smid
by Fredrick Paul Eisele 09 May '03

09 May '03

I have a need for an smi daemon. I see from the TODO, the cvs tree and the project graphic that 'smid' is under development. As I have some time and the inclination... Can I help to finish 'smid'? I know what I need it to do, and have started looking at smid.c Is there any documentation describing the planned/missing features? Is the plan to have 'smid' behave similar to 'smiquery'? Thanks

order of declaration of table objects....
by Vivekanandan V 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Hi, In my mib, the declaration of objects in the <Table>Entry and in the below definition part are not in the same order. No warning is given by the libsmi tool. I just want to confirm, whether this is legally allowed or it shud not be done. TestEntry ::= SEQUENCE { Index1, Index2, object1 } Index2 OBJECT-TYPE . . ::= {TestEntry 2} Index1 OBJECT-TYPE . . ::= {TestEntry 1} Whether the declaration and definition parts need not have the objects in the same order???
