I seem to have hit a snag. During a poll I get the following results. Always on the same set of routers.

Illegal hexadecimal digit '
' ignored at ./cdppoll line 99, <STDIN> line 1.
Illegal hexadecimal digit 'X' ignored at ./cdppoll line 100, <STDIN> l
+ine 1.
Use of uninitialized value in hex at ./cdppoll line 102, <STDIN> line 
+1.
0.0.0.0           vadgw001.winstar.com                Serial2/2       
+       cisco 7206

Trying to trace it down I added some statements to the Get_SNMP_Info sub Get_SNMP_Info{ #This sub gets the value of an oid

      my($crap , $value , $result);
      my($oid) = $_[0];
      $result = $session->get_request("$oid");
      $result = $session->get_request("$oid");
      #return unless (defined $result);
      ($crap , $value) = %$result;
print "DEBUG: $oid = $value\n";
print "DEBUG: $oid = $crap\n";
      return $value;

   }

and come up with this:

I can't figure out where the X> is coming from. I do an snmpget on that same oid and get good results.

snmpget -v2c vaugw001 something .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.23.1.2.1.1.4.7.429
enterprises.9.9.23.1.2.1.1.4.7.429 =  Hex: 0A 00 58 3E

Has anyone reported this yet? It happens every time on exactly the same entries. Kevin

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
