Hi,


I downloaded and installed the latest version of Ethereal tool on my Sun
machine. (SunOS 5.7 Generic_106541-19 sun4u sparc) This was done for the
purpose of analysing SNMP packets. But when I started the tool it gave
me an output as follows:

./ethereal -h

This is GNU ethereal 0.9.2, compiled with GTK+ 1.2.8, with GLib 1.2.8,
with libpcap 0.6, with libz 1.1.3, without SNMP
                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^
ethereal [ -vh ] [ -klpQS ] [ -a <capture autostop condition> ] ...
        [ -b <number of ringbuffer files> ] [ -B <byte view height> ]
        [ -c <count> ] [ -f <capture filter> ] [ -i <interface> ]
        [ -m <medium font> ] [ -n ] [ -N <resolving> ]
        [ -o <preference setting> ] ... [ -P <packet list height> ]
        [ -r <infile> ] [ -R <read filter> ] [ -s <snaplen> ] 
        [ -t <time stamp format> ] [ -T <tree view height> ]
        [ -w <savefile> ] [ <infile> ]

But the News for Ethereal 0.9.2 on www.ethereal.com says this version
supports SNMP. I tried enabling "SNMP" using the Edit -> Protocols
Option of the GUI. Even then, the tool is not capturing SNMP data.
Instead it is showing it as the data part (in hex format) of UDP packet. 

Am I missing something out here? Please guide me.

Thanks and Regards,
Simi
