Greetings Monks, I am trying to read the current mac address table of a cisco switch as in this example:

dominus@Arzamas:~$

Here is the code I have so far

my $snmp = SNMP::Session->new (
    DestHost => $switchaddr,
    Community => $community,
    Version => '2c',
    RemotePort => $port,
) or die "Unable to connect to $switchaddr:$port\n";

print Dumper ($snmp->gettable ('.1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1.1'));
[download]

and it bombs like this:

STORE(SNMP::MIB=HASH(0x84c5050) mib-2.17.4.3.1.1 HASH(0x8435700)) : write access to the MIB not implemented
Modification of non-creatable array value attempted, subscript -1 at /usr/lib/perl5/SNMP.pm line 695.

If however I use a less obscure OID (e.g. ifTable) - everything works as expected. Can someone help me with this?

Thank you! UPDATE: append missing leading dot to the OID
