set/get requests to Table

cleo has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

gud day! i have compiled a custom mib. i can set requests to scalar type variables but i cant do it on Table type variables... in both cases, i have an error in getting requests.. is there something i'm missing out? can i set/get requests to table type oids individually or do i need to do an snmpwalk or whatever? heres the mib...

The MIB alone won't get us very far. What actual code are you using? What modules? etc etc.. Please, show us what you've tried, don't just tell. C.	[reply]

I'm using the net::snmp module. here's the code i used to try the custom mib generated oid's `use Net::SNMP; use strict; my $inputOID = '1.3.6.1.4.1.30000.1.2.1.1'; my $ASN_type = INTEGER; my $newVal = '2'; my ($session, $error ) = Net::SNMP->session( Hostname => '192.36.253.30', Community => 'private' ) \|\| die "Can't open a session"; print $session->set_request($inputOID, $ASN_type, $newVal) \|\| die "Can't set"; print my $answer = SEC_SNMP->getRequest($inputOID) \|\| die "Cant' get";` [download] it would generate an error like noSuchInstance on object 1.3.6.1.4.1.300001.2.1 tnx...im new to both perl and snmp and i really feel lost i hope you could help...

A gentle reminder that this site is all about Perl, and your original post had nothing to do with Perl but rather (as it turned out) something to do with SNMP and (I suppose) its configuration or access, as controled by MIBs (whatever they are) as generated by Perl (that was a long walk). It's sort of like Jeopardy .. you have to frame your post as a Perl question. That will help you faster, and also prevent your posted from getting deleted as a non-Perl question.

No worries .. we're glad to help, and the first social blunder is a freebie. It's the ones after that that are going to cost you. ;) Alex / talexb / Toronto "Groklaw is the open-source mentality applied to legal research" ~ Linus Torvalds	[reply]
