Interpreting SNMP Parameters For High and Low Order Bytes

[gorok36]

How should one interpret SNMP parameters , which are specified in low- and high order bytes.

These are in an NMS tool for displaying volSize used ( example volSizeLow and volSizeHigh ) .

I can't find a documentation about this within the SNMP-reference-guide.

There are various methods to combine low order bytes and high order bytes .

My perception is that these two 32bit counter should together form a 64-bit counter, but the method unclear.

Many thanks in advance.

I am interested in this answer as well.  Gorok Zedar Did you get this question answered?

Same question here

Max unsigned number that can be stored in 32bits counter is 4294967295.

Total size would be: LOW_ORDER_BYTES + HIGH_ORDER_BYTES * 4294967296

[Gerrit Buwalda]

Total size in GB is LOW_ORDER_BYTES / 1073741824 + HIGH_ORDER_BYTES * 4 and the result is verified

In my monitoring i'll ignore the LOW_ORDER_BYTES and only use the HIGH_ORDER_BYTES which gives me the size with an accuracy of +/- 4 GB
