Jeff> \x0a\x01\x0a\x47}}
Jeff> I always get the message : illegal octet string value
The snmp(n) manual page says:
: OCTET STRING An OCTET STRING is a sequence of octect
: (= bytes). The primitive Tcl string
: representation for an OCTET STRING value
: is a string containing hexadecimal
: numbers (from 00 to ff) separated by
: colons. For example, the ASCII string
: "rose" is represented as "72:6f:73:65".
You should use 0a:01:0a:47 instead of \x0a\x01\x0a\x47. Scotty had to
deal with binary octet strings way before binary strings were added to
the Tcl core and it was therefore necessary to invent our own format.
