[libsmi] RE: Welcome to the "Libsmi" mailing list

Hi,

I need a clarification on the following.

1. When I went throught parser, I found all the INTEGER based types Counter, Gauge, TimeTicks are assigned a value of SMI_BASETYPE_UNSIGNED32. Is there any specific reason for not defining a new type for the Integer based APPLICATION types?

2. Having different types may help the developers while sending the traps. I feel it is inappropriate to send the Trap containing Gauge object with ASN_INTEGER(0x02) tag value.

3. Another thing, does the SNMP Manager will be really bothered about the mismatch of the object type defined in a MIB from whatever he get it from SNMP TRAP?

Can somebody help me out regarding this?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Mahesh.
