Is it possible for you to add a SNMP OID that will give me the current network technology (gprs,edge,hsdpa,hsupa,hspa,hspa+,lte,whatever) as an integer (0-10?).
Currently there’s only gprs-0-stats-technology which is an octet-string.
Thanks!

Hi
if you load the sarian monitor mib this has the convertions from the octet value to string

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for…
did not know about that mib, I’ve been downloading a new one from the admin-ui after every firmware upgrade, a pain! 😉
