SMI API
by barora＠hss.hns.com 12 Sep '02

12 Sep '02

Hi Friends, I just downloaded and compiled the libsmi.0.4.0 files today. I have some questions. 1. Does any documentation of the SMI API exist ? If so where can I find it ? 2. While using the tools (like smidump, smilint, etc.) where do I specify the SMI version to check against? Is it picked up from the MIB itself ? - Regards, Brijesh Arora Senior Software Engineer Network Management Group Hughes Software Systems India DISCLAIMER: This message is proprietary to Hughes Software Systems Limited (HSS) and is intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.

Memory leak in smiGetParentNode()
by Hills, Steve 29 Aug '02

29 Aug '02

I'm using libsmi-0.3.1. There is a memory leak in the following code use of libsmi. The call to smiGetParentNode() does a addObject("<implicit>"...) and it allocates two objects Object and Node, but because this node has no parent addNode() doesn't assign the new node to anything. I found this because I have some code that travels up the parent nodes of a oid. pNode = smiGetNode( NULL, "1" ); SmiNode* pNode2 = smiGetParentNode( pNode ); Steve Hills NCR

Warning given by LibSMI is valid ???
by Vivekanandan V 14 Aug '02

14 Aug '02

Hi, Iam having an Index element of a row as "InetAddress" Type, which is in turn an OCTET STRING (SIZE (0..255)). So automatically the total OID Size of the element will be greater than 255. But LibSMI tool (In Severity Level-5) gives the following warning.... "index of row ` ' can exceed OID size limit by 144 subidentifier(s)" Whether the warning given by LibSMI is valid????

Hi Cristian, You are missing a file in win/makefile. The GNUmakefile picks up all files automatically (almost). You can get GNU make for w32 (gmake.exe) and use win/GNUmakefile like this: gmake Or: gmake -f GNUmakefile Also see win/README.win for more details.

All, Are there any plans, or is there any perceived need, for the ability to dump a view of the MIB with the agent capabilities applied? Thanks, Rob Steinberger.

SMI_INDEX_EXTEND vs. SMI_INDEX_SPARSE
by Moritz Bunkus 02 Jul '02

02 Jul '02

Hi. There is no difference between these two. SMI_INDEX_EXTEND is a left-over, nothing more - I forgot to remove it from smi.h.in. It is not used anywhere anymore. Don't worry about it :) -- ==> Ciao, Mosu
