The AsnAnystructure contains an SNMP variable type and value. This structure is a member of the SnmpVarBindstructure that is used as a parameter in many of the SNMP functions. This structure is not used by the WinSNMPAPI functions.

Members

asnType

Indicates the variable's type. This member must be only one of the following values.

Value	Description
ASN_INTEGER	Indicates a 32-bit signed integer variable.
ASN_INTEGER32	Indicates a 32-bit signed integer variable.
ASN_UNSIGNED32	Indicates a 32-bit unsigned integer variable.
ASN_COUNTER64	Indicates a counter variable that increases until it reaches a maximum value of (2^64) – 1.
ASN_OCTETSTRING	Indicates an octet string variable.
ASN_BITS	Indicates a variable that is an enumeration of named bits.
ASN_OBJECTIDENTIFIER	Indicates an object identifier variable.
ASN_SEQUENCE	Indicates an ASN sequence variable.
ASN_IPADDRESS	Indicates an IP address variable.
ASN_COUNTER32	Indicates a counter variable.
ASN_GAUGE32	Indicates a gauge variable.
ASN_TIMETICKS	Indicates a timeticks variable.
ASN_OPAQUE	Indicates an opaque variable.
SNMP_EXCEPTION_NOSUCHOBJECT	Indicates that the object provided is not available.
SNMP_EXCEPTION_NOSUCHINSTANCE	Indicates that the instance provided is not available.
SNMP_EXCEPTION_ENDOFMIBVIEW	Indicates that the end of the MIB view has been reached.

asnValue

Contains the variable's value. This member can be only one of the following values.

Value	Description
number	Accesses a 32-bit signed integer variable.
