Deprecated API

Deprecated Classes

com.adventnet.snmp.mibs.MibModuleCompliance
This class incorrectly assumes that the ModuleCompliance construct can have only one Module. Instead, the classes ModuleCompliance and ModuleComplianceModule can be used.

Deprecated Fields

com.adventnet.snmp.snmp2.SnmpAPI.BITSTRING
This variable has been deprecated in SNMPv2 protocol.

com.adventnet.snmp.snmp2.SnmpAPI.NSAP
This variable has been deprecated in SNMPv2 protocol

com.adventnet.snmp.snmp2.SnmpAPI.Standard_Prefix
instead use the setOIDPrefix(SnmpOID oid) and getOIDPrefix() methods.
