hi

i following your code and i run command in terminal
java -cp .:snmp4j-2.2.5.jar -c y5entSnmp -p 161 -v 1 10.8.72.134 iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.5

get error message
OID is not specified correctly.

please help me.

Best Regards

Hi,

In this code varBinding.getVariable()) gives the value without its units. Is there a way to get the value with its units?

Thank you.

Sorry that I didn't sign-in the git-hub for a while...

I dont think snmp4j supports an input like "iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.5". It should be "1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.5".

sajinidesilva
I cant catch the meaning of "units". Please check the javadoc for snmp4j...
