[Jayaprakasha G. N. <jna...@ne...>]

In rfc2578 "Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2)" it is
mentioned that enumeration is not supported for OCTET STRING ,

I have OID designed as follows,

=20

CountryCode OBJECT-TYPE

        SYNTAX              OCTET STRING {

                              None(NONE),

                              United States(US),

                              Andorra(AD)

                            }

        MAX-ACCESS          read-write

        STATUS              current

        DESCRIPTION

            " country code=20

        ::=3D { mibCountryEntry 30 }

     =20

When I verified the above OID design with agent, my manager (iReasoning
mib browser) able to resolve the enumerated values ...

      i.e when my agent sends "US" , manager showed it as "United
States" ...

I am not sure whether the above design is correct. (enum of OCTET STRING
syntax)

Can anyone tell me about this?

Thanks
