Hi All,
This is a perl related question. I am walking a mib and getting OCTETSTR
values. However, some of these are hex values that I am wanting to
convert into decimal. I know how to do the conversion no problem, but
some values return a string in ascii (e.g. "Module 1 port 6") while
other oid's return hex strings (e.g. SoftwareRevisonNumber = "0C AD
00"). Obviouly I do not want to translate the former, but I do want to
translate the latter. How do I know I have got a HEX value from the
snmpget and not a value that need no translation?
I am stuck on this one, so any help would be appreciated.
PS. It must ba able to be done since doing a snmpwalk from the command
line gives a return of:
SoftwareRevisonNumber = Hex: 0C AD 00
Thanks in advance.
Hamish
