Re: Problems using devSnmp from NSCL

["John A. Priller" <priller@frib.msu.edu>]

I might be a little slow helping debug it, I'm away from work until July 
10.  Do the PV names you're trying to access show up in a 'dbl' 
command?  If so, what shows up when you have the snmp driver do a dump 
of them?  For example:

snmpr 2 PANDA:LMD:MUPIX:LV:TEST:ReadSwitchOnOff

will do a level-2 debug dump of PV/oid info.

The reason we don't support mbbo/i/direct (yet, anyway) is simply 
because the old snmp driver we based on version on didn't support it and 
we've never yet needed it.  It's something we could add if there's 
demand for it (and time is available, you know how that goes).
