[ap-utils] Question...

[Shawn Mitchell]

Thanks.. that is what I was looking for exactly...  the nice thing is that
it's smartbridge ap's that I'm wanting to track everything on.. and I was
trying to decode the hex via perl's pack/unpack, but I didn't know the data
lengths...

In the script it tells the elements order, and their length...  Which it
looks like is 4 bytes per field on each one...

Thanks!

Hi Shawn,

To anwer your original question partially,  the data is returned as
HEX-String in octets mostly, depending on the MIB.

The ap-utils uses the swap4 macro for processing in lib/ap-utils.h and
src/ap-mrtg.c for this. You may want to check the source code.

If perl is acceptable to you, there is a simple script available at
http://sg.smartbridges.com/helper/ inside sb-mrtg script set which could
probably explain to you one of the quick and dirty methods of getting
the respective values.

Regards,

Nikhil.
