Thats a good one, sir! I managed to create jnx-bgpmib2.py out from /usr/share/snmp/mibs/jnx-bgpmib2.txt that contains the mibs snmpwalk found for me. Now, in what way can I 'feed' the pysnmp with this new file and how to ask it kindly to convert these number strings into nice readable strings? -- -------------------- Spank The Spam! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
