Variation Modules limitations about snmpsim HOT 3 CLOSED

A quick question on the writecache problem: can you give me a simple reproducer to streamline the fix? Like the .snmprec and snmpset command that fails? Traceback would also be useful.

I will comment on the rest of your notes shortly.

Hello, thank you for your reply.

In order to reproduce the error place inside a snmprec file the following record:

1.2.3.4.4.2.1|4x:writecache|value=423423abc123fdd

Then start snmpsimd and send a SNMPGet request for this OID. This will cause a type error.

However, I found a workaround that enables me to modify hexademical value OIDs. I rewrite the above OID this way:

1.2.3.4.4.2.1|4:writecache|hexvalue=423423abc123fdd

This actually works and I can now edit this OID too so you might not want to look into it, maybe just place a note in the documentation of variation modules for anyone wanting to edit hexademical values to remove the 'x' when using writecache.

As for the rest of of my questions, basically it would be very helpful to us if there was for SNMPSim to insert new OIDs or delete old ones at runtime. For example, a Xirrus Device is sent a SNMPSet request that instructs it to create a new tunnel. This translates to the creation of a new OID for the Xirrus device that can now be retrieved via SNMPGet if needed.

Thank you for your time!

I beg your pardon for it has taken so long to resolve this issue!

I think commit cda100f should have resolved it in a way that optional .snmprec tag modifier ('x' or 'e') gets ignored by the variation modules.
