Peder> Hello. I have some problems with the scotty 3.0.0 beta (the
Peder> November 1998 unix version).
Peder> I use the scotty as a command generator to test functionality
Peder> of set-request in my own (non-scotty) SNMP agent.
Peder> I try to add an entry to the ipNetToMediaTable of IP-MIB. But
Peder> I cannot figure out how to specify the MAC address in the
Peder> scotty end.
Peder> The documentation (the snmp(n) entry, under SNMP DATA TYPES)
Peder> says to use string with hex digits and colons:
Peder> % $s3 set [list [list ipNetToMediaPhysAddress.1.194.182.136.185
Peder> \ "00:D0:33:02:00:07"] [list ipNetToMediaType.1.194.182.136.185
Peder> static]]
[...]
Peder> - that is, colons and hex digits all converted to individual
Peder> OCTETs. Evidently not the way to do it.
[...]
Peder> Any ideas? I am pretty much lost.
PhysAddress is a textual convention defined in SNMPv2-TC (RFC 1903).
The textual convention has a display-hint clause and scotty tries to
apply this clause. Scotty version 3.0.0 obviously has a bug here
(which does not exist in 2.1.X). Below is patch that should fix this
problem.
