[Netkit.users] strange SNMP behavior

[Niklas]

Hi netkit community,

Thanks for the great tool :). It has provided me with a lot of fun.

Recently I am working on a small script which uses netkit in
combination with net-snmp. Here I observed the following abnormal
behavior:
- The speed of a non-loopback network interface (ethX) is set to 0
-- (OID: IfSpeed: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.5.<Interface ID>)
- The metric part of entries of the routing table ("route -n") does
not show up on a snmpwalk or a direct snmpget request.
-- (OID: ipRouteMetric1: 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.21.1.3.<IP of Destination>)

As far as I understand these O-IDs are part of the standard knowledge
base of SNMP. Hence I am pretty surprised they do not work as
intended.

So if you have any ideas or pointers on how to resolve these anomalies
please let me know!

Best,
Niklas
