A. SNMPv2C or SNMPv3 is required to query 64-bit counters. SNMPv1 does not support 64-bit counters. Be aware that ifInOctets = .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10 is a 32-bit counter while the 64-bit version is ifHCInOctets = .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6. For example: Catalyst 5000 uses HP OpenView snmpget, which defaults to SNMPv1 # snmpget -c public 14.32.5.18 ifName.1 ifMIB.ifMIBObjects.ifXTable.ifXEntry.ifName.1 DISPLAY STRING- (ascii) sc0 Query with SNMPv1, default for HP OpenView snmpget # snmpget -c public 14.32.5.18 ifHCInOctets.1 snmpget Agent reported error with variable #1. .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.ifMIB.ifMIBObjects.ifXTable.ifXEntry. ifHCInOctets.1 SNMP Variable does not exist or access is denied.
