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().

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.

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

Note: The stack so far only supports sending an Inform. Receiving an Inform and replying with a Response is NOT yet supported!

con - The context of the request

count - The number of OIDs to be get

Method Detail

new_value

                         varbind var)

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

Overrides:

tell_them

protected void tell_them()

The methods 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.
