Hi there,

When querying (doing snmpwalk with dot1dTpFdbAddress node in
dot1dTpFdbTable - BRIDGE-MIB) one of the realtime switch in our
network I am getting the following results :

dot1dTpFdbAddress.0.16.220.159.254.97:-->00 10 dc 9f fe 61
dot1dTpFdbAddress.0.8.116.48.137.202:-->00 08 74 30 89 ca
dot1dTpFdbAddress.0.144.177.97.224.155:-->00 90 b1 61 e0 9b
dot1dTpFdbAddress.0.144.177.97.224.154:-->00 90 b1 61 e0 9a

and here my question :

Is the results are correct ?. bcoz I expected the results as follows :
(so that the oids will be lexographical order)

dot1dTpFdbAddress.0.8.116.48.137.202:-->00 08 74 30 89 ca
dot1dTpFdbAddress.0.16.220.159.254.97:-->00 10 dc 9f fe 61
dot1dTpFdbAddress.0.144.177.97.224.154:-->00 90 b1 61 e0 9a
dot1dTpFdbAddress.0.144.177.97.224.155:-->00 90 b1 61 e0 9b

Any RFC drafts, if my realtime switch's functionality is right ?

Regards,
Siva

Is the results are correct?.
The OIDs are not in lexicographic order. This violates the SNMP
specs and some managers might actually go into endless loops.

Hi,
I think your second response is correct.Because all index oids should
have lexgraphically ordered.
You can find these type of lexicographical ordering problem with
Silver SNMP Test Suite.


Thanks.
