Hello Fedor,

thanks for your support. Unfortunately that does not solve the problem

I am trying with this conf now:

proxy -Cn ctx -v 2c -c public  localhost .1.4.1  .1.3.6.1.3.54
proxy -Cn ctx -v 2c -c public  localhost .1.3.6.1.3.40  .1.3.6.1.3.54
proxy -Cn ctx -v 2c -c public  localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.187  .1.3.6.1.3.54

only the first and the third MIBs appear to work.

It seems to me that the proxy is not proxying on some branches. Does this make 
sense?

I have also tried

proxy  -v 2c -c public  localhost .1.3.1 .1.3.6.1.3.54 (without context) but 
still  the same result.

I am missing something big for sure :D

BR
Antonio

Hi Antonio,
Probably this issue may be related to the usage of the root oids with length of 
two(.1.3 and .1.4).
Can you please check if proxying works on oids with length>2?
Regards,
Fedor

Hello everybody,

sorry for the double mail; maybe I have provided too much background and not 
enough info about the problem that I am facing.

Assuming this:

pass_persist .1.3.6.1.3.54 /home/ciscolab/test.py

proxy -Cn ctx -v 2c -c public  localhost .1.4 .1.3.6.1.3.54
proxy -Cn ctx -v 2c -c public  localhost .1.3 .1.3.6.1.3.54

with test.py:

#!/usr/bin/python -u
import snmp_passpersist as snmp
from random import randint

def update():
   pp.add_str('0.1',string)
   pp.add_int('0.2',randint(0,100))
pp=snmp.PassPersist(".1.3.6.1.3.54")
pp.start(update,10)

If I walk over .1.3.6.1.3.54 I get this:

root@debian:/home/ciscolab# snmpwalk -v2c -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.3.54
iso.3.6.1.3.54.0.1 = STRING: "string"
iso.3.6.1.3.54.0.2 = INTEGER: 95

If I walk over .1.4 (community fakecomm) I get this:

root@debian:/home/ciscolab# snmpwalk -v2c -c fakecomm localhost .1.4
iso.4.0.1 = STRING: "string"
iso.4.0.2 = INTEGER: 70
iso.4.0.2 = No more variables left in this MIB View (It is past the end of the 
MIB tree)

and If I walk over .1.3 (community fakecomm):

root@debian:/home/ciscolab# snmpwalk -v2c -c fakecomm localhost .1.3
iso.3.0.1 = STRING: "string"
iso.3.0.1 = STRING: "string"
Error: OID not increasing: iso.3.0.1

Subject: Concatenating MIBs over multiple contexts

Hello everybody,

I am Antonio and I am trying to solve a problem using net-snmp and pass_persist 
(with python). I would ask your support/opinion on this.

There is a former implementation of the BGP MIB(1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3.1.2) on some 
Cisco routers that stores all the information about all the BGP peers (in all 
the VRFs). In the new IOS XR this is not happening. In particular the BGP MIB 
now stores only the information about the peers in the global routing table of 
the router (so it does not store information about the peers in other VRFs). To 
address this a new MIB was created: CISCO-BGP4-MIB(.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.187).  This 
MIB does not replicate the same behavior of the former BGP MIB. This MIB is 
context aware and therefore is necessary to configure on the routers multiple 
contexts; to map the context to a VRF and at the end to map a community to a 
context. At the end querying the device on the community that is mapped to a 
VRF through a context I am able to get the BGP peers in that VRF.

Long story short I am trying to emulate the former behavior of the BGP MIB. In 
particular my idea is to, through a proxy, intercept the query and run a script 
that collects all the information, querying over all the communities, and 
returns the concatenation of the content of the tree over all the 
communities(vrfs).

I am using net-snmp as proxy and pass_persist to call a python script that 
populates the tree like the former bgp MIB.

More or less the conf is (omitting all the auth stuffs):

pass_persist .1.3.6.1.3.60 /home/ciscolab/CiscobgpMIB_router1.py
pass_persist .1.3.6.1.3.70 /home/ciscolab/CiscobgpMIB_router2.py
com2sec -Cn ctx notConfigUser  default fakecomm
com2sec -Cn ctx2 notConfigUser  default fakecomm2

proxy -Cn ctx -v 2c -c public  <IP ROUTER 1> 1.3
proxy -Cn ctx -v 2c -c public  localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.187 .1.3.6.1.3.60

proxy -Cn ctx2 -v 2c -c public  <IP ROUTER 2> 1.3
proxy -Cn ctx2 -v 2c -c public  localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.187 .1.3.6.1.3.70

So far I was able to perform this concatenation for the CISCO-BGP4-MIB but not 
for the BGP MIB.

In order to perform the concatenation for the BGP MIB I would so something like:

pass_persist .1.3.6.1.3.61 /home/ciscolab/bgpMIB_router1.py
pass_persist .1.3.6.1.3.71 /home/ciscolab/bgpMIB_router2.py

proxy -Cn ctx -v 2c -c public  localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3.1.2 .1.3.6.1.3.61
proxy -Cn ctx2 -v 2c -c public  localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3.1.2 .1.3.6.1.3.71

But is not working. Is there any sort of mechanism that prevents the proxy to 
work on standard MIBS? If I change to .1.4.6.1.2.1.15.3.1.2 it works without 
modifying anything else.


Any Idea?

Thanks a lot
