There are in fact a few agents that have trouble with negative request IDs. The SNMP_Session.pm library that MRTG uses has a workaround for this - see "avoid_negative_request_ids" in the code. You could patch your SNMP_Session.pm to set this to "1" by default, or patch MRTG to set it for the problematic target. Oops, you said it masks the entire upper 16 bits. Well there's no workaround for this, but one could do it in SNMP_Session.pm, either by adding a "use_16_bit_unsigned_request_id" variable or by doing something like "lenient_request_id_matching". But the best fix would be to fix your agent. Maybe there is newer firmware available for the router that fixes the problem. Otherwise, "MRTG doesn't work" will be a good incentive for the vendor to fix it. And therefore I'm reluctant to add this workaround to SNMP_Session.pm: We would be adding workarounds all the time for differently broken SNMP agents, and end up with the lowest common denominator that would work badly with all agents. > request (mrtg) > Comm/Auth Object Type/Len: 0x30 0x57 (87) > Version Number Type/Len/Value: 0x02 0x01 (1) 0x00 > Community Type/Len/Value: 0x04 0x06 (6) public > PDU Message Type: 0xA0 Get Request > PDU Message Length: 0x4A (74) > Request ID Type/Len/Value: 0x02 0x04 (4) 0x477C2EF0 > answere (router) > Comm/Auth Object Type/Len: 0x30 0x5F (95) > Version Number Type/Len/Value: 0x02 0x01 (1) 0x00 > Community Type/Len/Value: 0x04 0x06 (6) public > PDU Message Type: 0xA2 Get Response > PDU Message Length: 0x52 (82) > Request ID Type/Len/Value: 0x02 0x02 (2) 0x2EF0 > How i can fix MRTG to use only from 0 to 2^16 request ID ? > can some one help me please? > best regards -- Simon Leinen [EMAIL PROTECTED] SWITCH http://www.switch.ch/misc/leinen/ Computers hate being anthropomorphized. -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
