CreateVar

snmpvar CreateVar(string oid)

snmpvar CreateVar(string oid, string syntax, string value)

Return Value

Returns created SNMP variable.

Parameters

oid - the object identifier that will be used to create variable. 

syntax –the variable syntax that is used to perform SNMP SET operation. The following syntax types are supported: OCTET STRING, INTEGER, GAUGE, COUNTER, OPAQUE, OBJECT IDENTIFIER, IpAddress, TimeTicks.

value –the variable value that is used to perform SNMP SET operation.

Remarks

Call this function to create SNMP variable using object identifier or object identifier, syntax and value. This variable can be used to create SNMP PDU for SNMP GET/GET-NEXT operations.

Example 1

snmpvar var1 = CreateVar("1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0")

snmpvar var2 = CreateVar("1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0")

snmppdu pdu = CreatePdu(var1, var2), response

int iVarCount

int iIndex

snmpvar var_tmp

response=SnmpGetNext("65.35.64.170", "public", 2, 3000, pdu)

iVarCount = GetVarCount(response)

for (iIndex=0; iIndex < iVarCount; iIndex++)

  var_tmp = GetVarAt(response, iIndex)

  Println("OID: ", GetVarOID(var_tmp))

  Println("VALUE: ", GetVarValue(var_tmp))

  Println("SYNTAX: ", GetVarSyntax(var_tmp))

endfor

Output of the example 1 script will look like:

OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0

VALUE: 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1.1

SYNTAX: OBJECT IDENTIFIER

OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0

VALUE: (77107715) 8 days, 22:11:17.15

SYNTAX: TimeTicks

Example 2

snmpvar var1

string sysName = "1.3.6.1.2.1.1.6.0"

var1 = CreateVar(sysName, “OCTET STRING”, “Test”)

snmppdu pdu = CreatePdu(var1), response

int iVarCount

int iIndex

snmpvar var_tmp

response = SnmpSet("65.35.64.170", "private", 2, 3000, pdu)

iVarCount = GetVarCount(response)

for (iIndex=0, iIndex< iVarCount, iIndex=iIndex+1)

  var_tmp = GetVarAt(response, iIndex)

  Println("OID: ", GetVarOID(var_tmp))

  Println("VALUE: ", GetVarValue(var_tmp))

  Println("SYNTAX: ", GetVarSyntax(var_tmp))

endfor

Output of the example 2 script will look like:

OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.6.0

VALUE: Test

SYNTAX: OCTET STRING
