4 months agoSnippet possible bug w/ mac address encoding
Has anyone run into an issue where a few MAC addresses are being read by the snmp handler `snmp_walk` method as gibberish? Non-MAC address string data is returned on some interfaces that seems to be some form of unicode.
This is an example when running the SNMP walk from bash:
IP-MIB::ipNetToMediaPhysAddress.2.10.250.123.5 = STRING: 24:2a:4:f0:7a:c7
This is the same OID when read by the python SNMP handler:
('.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.22.1.2.2.10.250.123.5', '$*\x04ðzÇ')
I've tested the python2.7 execution environment, and the 3.6 env from the Cisco base pack 214.
Thanks!

We do not have any known issues for Mac address for CBP.
This seems like an issue for Support to investigate. Has a support case being created for this ?
