Hi,

I am using snmpV3 adapter and passing V2 traps to it by using commands as
below. It looks like the range for type *u* (i.e. unsigned) is upto (2^31)
- 1 (i.e. 2147483647). I was expecting it to be (2^32) - 1 (i.e.
4294967295).

snmptrap -c public -v 2c clm-pun-009642 '' 1.3.6.1.4.1.20006.1.0.5
1.3.6.1.4.1.12345.1 u 2147483647

Above command generates following log:
trace:  ..\..\snmplib\snmp_api.c, 5293:
dumph_recv:             Value
dumpx_recv:              42 04 7F FF FF FF
dumpv_recv:                UInteger:    2147483647 (0x7FFFFFFF)


snmptrap -c public -v 2c clm-pun-009642 '' 1.3.6.1.4.1.20006.1.0.5
1.3.6.1.4.1.12345.1 u 2147483648

Above command generates following log:
trace:  ..\..\snmplib\snmp_api.c, 5293:
dumph_recv:             Value
dumpx_recv:              42 05 00 80 00 00 00
dumpv_recv:                UInteger:    -2147483648 (0x80000000)

Refer to:
http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/man/snmptrap.html

I am using net-snmp v5.5.

I think below line in function asn_parse_unsigned_int() in file asn1.c is
printing the incorrect value:
DEBUGMSG(("dumpv_recv", "  UInteger:\t%ld (0x%.2lX)\n", value, value));

However I think it is not just the dump/log error and incorrect value is
propagated further down the line. I have an snmpV3 adapter which receives
the value. This adapter too gets the incorrect value.

I am not sure how this could be fixed. Data type of 'value' looks correct
which is u_long.

How could we fix this? Any pointers/help in fixing this?

Thanks.
