public class InformPdu_vec
extends InformPdu

The InformPdu_vec class will inform a manager about a number of objects (OIDs), based on the Inform request.

Specify with addOid() the OIDs that should be informed with this InformPdu request. No more than count (see constructor) should be added. Add an Observer to the InformPdu with addObserver(), and send the InformPdu with send().

Note, this PDU should be sent to port 162 (the default trap port) by default. You will have to create a SnmpContext with the ListeningContextFace.DEFAULT_TRAP_PORT as parameter!

Inform Requests are sent between managers. It is a kind of 'acknowlegded' trap since the receiving end should send a Response Pdu as reply. The varbind list has the same elements as the TrapPduv2.

Constructor Detail

InformPdu_vec

public InformPdu_vec(SnmpContextBasisFace con,
                     int count)

Constructor.

Parameters:

con - The context of the request

count - The number of OIDs to be get

Method Detail

new_value

protected void new_value(int n,
                         varbind var)

The value of the request is set. This will be called by InformPdu.fillin().

Overrides:

new_value in class Pdu

Parameters:

n - the index of the value

var - the value

See Also:

Pdu.new_value(int, uk.co.westhawk.snmp.stack.varbind)

tell_them

protected void tell_them()

This method notifies all observers. This will be called by InformPdu.fillin().

If no exception occurred whilst receiving the response, the Object to the update() method of the Observer will be an array of varbinds, so they may contains any AsnObject type. If an exception occurred, that exception will be passed as the Object to the update() method.

Overrides:

tell_them in class Pdu
