Yes, I have seen that, but I cant get it working as expected (or it
doesent to what expected at all). I cant make it return values like:
jnxBgpM2PeerIdentifier.0.ipv4.38.101.161.119.1.38.101.161.118 (the one
of many I got from snmpwalk) but instead I am getting bunch of words
like iso, internet, mgmt, which is no way close to desired effect.
Still no luck - anybody with a clue?
