2846.0. "Bad Result format" by LFOIS1::ALIE () Fri Apr 24 1992 14:49

    hye,
    
    on an Ultrix site we have Decmcc for Station and for HUB synoptic.
    
    (caracteristic= m2310)
    
    ON the item:
    
    
    
    "S3agentSW show Character" i got this result:
    
    
    S3Agentbootfile: %X633a5......
    
	It is the good result but in octet string ...
    
    Do you have any idea ??
    
    
    Thanx

2846.1What does the synoptics agent return?TOOK::MINTZErik Mintz, DECmcc Development, dtn 226-5033Fri Apr 24 1992 16:548
If I understand your question, you are trying to use the DECmcc
SNMP access module to request information from the synoptic HUB.

It looks like the agent is returning a string of hex digits rather
than text.  Perhaps someone who is familiar with the synoptics
agent can tell you what it means.

2846.2possible wrong SYNTAX in mib defn.SUBWAY::REILLYMike Reilly - New York Bank DistrictFri Apr 24 1992 19:2721
    Does the MIB defn file you compiled, have the following definition
    for the s3AgentBootFile in it:
    
    s3AgentBootFile OBJECT-TYPE
            SYNTAX  DisplayString (SIZE(0..64))
            ACCESS  read-write
            STATUS  mandatory
            DESCRIPTION
                    "The name of the boot file that is sent to the file server
                    during boot time. The actual boot protocol used to retrieve the
                    file is determined by s3AgentBootProtocol. This parameter will
                    not take effect until written into EEPROM (s3AgentWriteEeprom)
                    and a reset (s3AgentReset) is issued. This parameter is used
                    only if the s3AgentBootMode is set to use EEPROM."
            ::= { s3AgentSw 6 }
    
    It looks like the mib definition has a SYNTAX type of OCTET-STRING
    instaed of DisplayString.
