Hi!
mayagarwal> I have a problem parsing a mib that uses the UNITS mayagarwal> definition for an object. eg.
mayagarwal> mem-avail OBJECT-TYPE mayagarwal> SYNTAX Integer32 mayagarwal> MAX-ACCESS read-only mayagarwal> STATUS current mayagarwal> UNITS MB mayagarwal> DESCRIPTION mayagarwal> "Physical memory available" mayagarwal> ::= { memory-usage 1 }
mayagarwal> This node is parsed fine if I remove the line "UNITS mayagarwal> MB". Is there any way to make this work? The mayagarwal> documentation for the tool generating this MIB says that mayagarwal> it is ASN.1 compliant.
We should talk about SMIv2 rather than ASN.1. The argument to the SMIv2 UNITS subclause has to be a text enclosed in double quotes. Hence, your example above is not valid SMIv2. It has to be
UNITS "MB"
instead of
UNITS MB
This change should make libsmi behave as you probably expect.
