Thanks to Allen, I've learned how to use the walk command on
MIB browsers that I have. Very rudimentary usage on my part,
I might add.
The Rabbit SNMP module is supposed to support SNMPv2. Yet
both browsers timeout when I specify version 2. Only if I configure
the browser to use version 1 will the Rabbit respond. Also, the browsers
only have a version 2c option, not just 2. They both have versions:
1, 2c, and 3. I'm guessing that the Rabbit module doesn't support
v2c. But why don't the browsers support v2 like they still support v1?

Anyone from Rabbit know if a version 2c of SNMP is forthcoming
any time soon?

My second question is, how do you write a MIB source document?
I assume there is a documented standard. Where might I find that?

Sorry for rambling.

In the Rabbit-Products MIB file, it defines the board IDs for each Rabbit module.
The description says: "This module defines the object identifiers that are assigned
to various hardware platforms, and hence are returned as values for sysobjectID"

There is no variable in the sample program named sysobjectID. This parameter is
not returned using the snmpwalk utility. What is this parameter and how does one
read it?

Every shred of "SNMP" i've seen from Rabbit leads me to believe "No."
Not, "Not now", not "not later", not "eventually" but "No."

I'm sure there are a few other key features of v2 but they're escaping me right now.

Glad I could help.

Short answer: That's their MIB, which in all likelyhood you won't use.
You'll create your own OIDs/MIB based on your application.

The samples (IMHO) are there to give examples of how the libs work,
and 'proof' in the form of a compilable source code.

Are you just in "learning mode" or do you have an application goal in mind?

You're right that I won't use their MIBs, but if I understand
how and why they did what they did that helps me when I
write my own.

I have an application and product and several of our
customers have requested an SNMP interface. So I'm
trying to add that functionality to my application.

The demo program came with 3 MIB files. Only one
appears to be specific for the demo program. The other
2 appear to be Rabbit Semiconductor corporate MIBs.
The top level one defines all the objects under their
Enterprise number, of which there are 9. And one of these
objects is for Rabbit's customers to use. The second MIB
defines all the Rabbit core modules, assigning each an ID.
Lastly, is the demo program MIB which defines all the
parameters available from the demo program.

This appears to be a reasonable way to organize their MIBs,
but not having done this before I may be naive. I applied for,
and just received our own Private Enterprise Number, and
now I have to come up with a reasonable configuration for
our products and associated MIBs.

Your'e definately on the right track then.

Hello everyone i am using the tcpip FTP client sample from Dynamic C and i having a bit of trouble in getting it to work. The sample runs until it says that it is "Calling ftp_client_setup() to download testfile1 Looping on ftp_client_tick()..." and then it never moves from this point, anyone has any suggestion as to why it is stuck at this point? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ian
PS i have tested the FTP server i am trying to connect to and it is up running and working.
