Hello,

I've not used the ruby snmp library yet. But I have been using ruby to
drive NetSNMP.
It's a good tool to use to make sure the agent that you're trying to
communicate with
is working properly. Also using wireshark to see what going on is also
useful - it allows
you to load your device specific mibs.


regards,
Darryl
