#2648 snmpget displaying for 1,000 as float

[Insuk Ahn]

Hello,

OS : Ubuntu 12.01 or windows 7
snmp version : net-snmp-5.6.1.1-1

the object information :

ScaleHV OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX      DisplayString
MAX-ACCESS  read-only
STATUS      current
DESCRIPTION

I created oid and put the matching xml value to 1,000 or set the value to 1,000.

snmpwalk -v2c -c private
snmpget(or snmpwalk) brings the following result : ScaleHV.1 = STRING: +0.000000000000E+002

I expects to +1.0E+003.

But in the program, it passed the correct value to 1,000.
So I guess that the issue is only displaying a value when it is 1,000.
Is anybody experience the similar issue?
I tested with 10,000 or 2,000 but it is working correctly.
I appreciate if you have any clue.
Thank you,

Insuk

The problem appears to be in whatever system you have converting xml to SNMP objects. Note that this type is defined in the MIB as a DisplayString - which means that SNMP is not interpreting it in any way, whatever the MIB module implementation gives to net-snmp is what will be returned to the user.

Thank you so much. I would focus on that part(converting xml to SNMP objects).
