snmp: string index in OID is considered invalid :-(

[Christian Hammers]

Hello

How can I do the following command with PHP?

$ snmpwalk -Ir -On myhost \
'ASCEND-MIBINET-MIB::internetProfile-Active."cir-1-26"'
..1.3.6.1.4.1.529.23.1.1.1.2.8.99.105.114.45.49.45 .50.54 = INTEGER: yes(2)

snmpget() does not like the string index and give "Invalid object identifier",
it seems that something like the "-Ir" flag is missing in PHP as other
entries of this mib can be translated correctly.

Funnily, snmpwalk() does return the string representation itself:
array (
'ASCEND-MIBINET-MIB::internetProfile-Station."bras-1-2"'
=> 'STRING: "bras-1-2"',
...
Does anybody know the trick or do I have write my own OID converter which
would not be hard though as the appended oid numbers are just the strlen()
and the ascii values of the string.

bye,

Have you escaped all of the single and/or double quotes correctly in
your PHP snmp*() calls?

I tried the following ways, can you imagine more? :)

'ASCEND-MIBINET-MIB::internetProfile-Active."cir-1-26"');
'ASCEND-MIBINET-MIB::internetProfile-Active.\"cir-1-26\"');
'ASCEND-MIBINET-MIB::internetProfile-Active.\\"cir-1-26\\"');
"ASCEND-MIBINET-MIB::internetProfile-Active.\"cir-1-26\"");
"ASCEND-MIBINET-MIB::internetProfile-Active.\\\"cir-1-26\\\"");
"ASCEND-MIBINET-MIB::internetProfile-Active.'cir-1-26'");
"ASCEND-MIBINET-MIB::internetProfile-Active.\'cir-1-26\'");
"ASCEND-MIBINET-MIB::internetProfile-Active.\\'cir-1-26\\'");
