NetSNMP v5.7

OSCAR does NOT require NetSNMP, but if you desire to translate Dotted OIDs to Textual OIDs you will need to install NetSNMP

####Dotted OID

Snmp11 1.3.6.1.2.1.69.1.2.1.2.1 IpAddress "0.0.0.0";

####Textual OID

Snmp11 docsDevNmAccessIp.1 IpAddress "0.0.0.0";

####Data Types

RFC-2578

#####COUNTER32

Counter32

The Counter32 type represents a non-negative integer which monotonically increases until it reaches a maximum value of 2^32-1 (4294967295 decimal), when it wraps around and starts increasing again from zero.

COUNTER64

Counter64

GAUGE32

Gauge32

INTEGER32 and INTEGER

The Integer32 type represents integer-valued information between -2^31 and 2^31-1 inclusive (-2147483648 to 2147483647 decimal). This type is indistinguishable from the INTEGER type. Both the INTEGER and Integer32 types may be sub-typed to be more constrained than the Integer32 type.

The INTEGER type (but not the Integer32 type) may also be used to represent integer-valued information as named-number enumerations. In this case, only those named-numbers so enumerated may be present as a value. Note that although it is recommended that enumerated values start at 1 and be numbered contiguously, any valid value for Integer32 is allowed for an enumerated value and, further, enumerated values needn't be contiguously assigned.

TIMETICKS

TimeTicks

This represents a non-negative integer which specifies the elapsed time between two events, in units of hundredth of a second. The range is 0 to 2e32 - 1

IPADDRESS

The IpAddress type represents a 32-bit internet address. It is represented as an OCTET STRING of length 4, in network byte-order.

`Snmp11 docsDevNmAccessIp.1 IpAddress "0.0.0.0";`

OCTETSTRING

The OCTET STRING type represents arbitrary binary or textual data. Although the SMI-specified size limitation for this type is 65535 octets, MIB designers should realize that there may be implementation and interoperability limitations for sizes in excess of 255 octets.

`Snmp11 docsDevNmAccessCommunity.1 OctetString "ReadWrite";`

HEXSTRING

`Snmp11 docsDevNmAccessInterfaces.1 HexString "40:00"`

####Caveat

When using OSCAR for the first time with NetSNMP, there is a performance hit, a system call is required to the snmptranslate application for OID lookups. As each time you use OSCAR, a DB mapping of the Dotted-OID <=> Textual-OID is created, this will reduce the lookup time by by-passing snmptranslate.
