SnmpVarBind Status

In prior releases of the Java Dynamic Management Kit, the SnmpVarBind status was handed differently, depending upon whether you were using SNMP v1 or SNMP v2. This is no longer the case with the Java Dynamic Management Kit 4.2. The SnmpVarBind status handling has been modified to allow the user to perform status checking in the same way for both SNMP v1 and SNMP v2, although it may impact the Java code if you are using SNMP v2.

Now, regardless of the SNMP version you use to send a request, theSnmpVarBind status, as given by the getValueStatus method, always reflects the way that the SNMP request was sent (i.e. whether you used SNMP v1 or SNMP v2). Therefore, you may compare it with the constants stValueOk, stValueEndOfMibView, stValueNoSuchInstance, stValueNoSuchObject, or stValueUnspecified, which are defined in the SnmpVarBind class.
