- I wrote some code to get the ARP tables using SNMP. I start by doing a get-next
- on mgmt_mib_ip_ipNetToMediaTable_ipNetToMediaEntry_ipNetToMediaPhysAddress, and
- I look at the type of the returned variable. If it is STRING I know the unit
- supports MIB-II so I use those variables. Otherwise I assume it does not and I
- use the MIB-I at table.
-
- I tested this against various boxes (nodes, routers, etc), and found that the
- Cabletron MRXI 10Base-T hub, which supports MIB-I, appears to fail in its
- treatment of get-next. It returns NoSuchVariable for the get-next I outlined
- above.
-
- Anybody else seen this? Does Cabletron know about it?

- Tim.
