Given the situation, that I poll for the following OIDs:
Example 3. oids
1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.5.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.5.1.1.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.5.1.1.11.1
The result will be the following:
Example 4. Result of toString conversion
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <snmp> <entry> <oid>1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0</oid> <value>6 days, 21:14:28.00</value> </entry> <entry> <oid>1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.5.1</oid> <value>2</value> </entry> <entry> <oid>1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.5.1.1.1</oid> <value>3</value> </entry> <entry> <oid>1.3.6.1.2.1.43.5.1.1.11.1</oid> <value>6</value> </entry> <entry> <oid>1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0</oid> <value>My Very Special Printer Of Brand Unknown</value> </entry> </snmp>
As you maybe recognized there is one more result than requested....1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0. This one is filled in by the device automatically in this special case. So it may absolutely happen, that you receive more than you requested...be prepared.
