Re^5: Net::SNMP ASN1 Type error

Your problem was niggling me so I tried it myself.

Other than the $ip value, I used exactly what you have (with the mismatched quote problem fixed).

Here's my code:

#!perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Net::SNMP;

my $ip = '127.0.0.1';

my $SESSION = Net::SNMP->session (-hostname=>$ip, -community=>"private
+");

$SESSION->set_request(-varbindlist=> ['1.3.6.1.4.1.6080.3.1.2.4.0', IN
+TEGER, 1]);

print $SESSION->error();

And here's the output:

$ net_snmp_problem.pl
No response from remote host "127.0.0.1"
[download]

As you can see, no problem with INTEGER.

Furthermore, when I ran it without fixing the quotes, I got:

Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at ./net_snmp_pro
+blem.pl line 12.
[download]

which suggests that you're posting different code to what you're actually running.

Anyway, if you're still having difficulties, my best advice would be to re-install Net::SNMP.

Thanks for your help Ken. I neglected to mention that this is running on ActiveState Perl. I copied my code and ran it on OSX in a shell and had no issues with the INTEGER constant. I re-installed the Net::SNMP module on my Activestate Windows box, but still get the same error. In this case, probably not a huge deal, I'll do a work around by using the system command to run snmpset in a dos prompt. I just hate doing that, seems slower and more clunky. Thanks again.	[reply]

I also have Activestate (v5.10.1) on Windows XP and the above code from Ken works fine for me - no issue with bareword INTEGER. What version of Net::SNMP are you using - I'm at v6.0.0. I've seen this error in the past with older versions of Net::SNMP, the fix was as described above in the 'use' line: `use Net::SNMP qw(:asn1 :snmp);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I have a Windows box but I'm running Strawberry Perl. Worked fine here too: `C:\_\tmp>net_snmp_problem.pl No response from remote host "127.0.0.1" C:\_\tmp>` [download] The earlier output was from Cygwin. I've got Perl 5.12.0 on both and Net::SNMP 6.0.1 on both. I didn't have Net::SNMP running on either so they're both fresh installs and the latest version. And, unfortunately, that's me completely out of ideas. -- Ken	[reply] [d/l]

I am using Net::SNMP 6.0.1 on Activestate 5.12.1. I'm not sure what is going on, perhaps I will reinstall everything. I added the qw's to the use line to no avail. Thanks again for all of your help.	[reply]

I was able to get this to work by using the asn.1 value for INTEGER (2) and OCTET_STRING (4).	[reply]
