SNMP 2 ifMIB ifXTable ifConnectorPresent incorrect setting => Fixed in SVN

[tenox]

Consider following OID:

Name: ifConnectorPresent Oid: 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.17 Module: IF-MIB Description: This object has the value 'true(1)' if the interface sublayer has a physical connector and the value 'false(2)' otherwise.

VirtualBox incorrectly marks virtual interfaces created on the host machine as one having "physical connector" present.

For example: OID=.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.18.11 Value=Local Area Connection OID=.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.17.11 Value=1 (true) This is correct because Local Area Connection is a physical network adapter and has a physical connector

OID=.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.18.13 Value=Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface OID=.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.17.13 Value=2 (false) This is correct because Tunneling interfaces do not have a physical connector

OID=.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.18.28 Value=VirtualBox Host-Only Network OID=.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.17.28 Value=1 (true) This is incorrect because VirtualBox is a software and doesn't have any physical connectors

Could you verify that the problem is fixed in this test build? Please post here any issues with backward compatibility should they arise.

Tested. The issue is fixed! Now all virtual network connection report as (false) 2 value. Many thanks for this! Great work!

[tenox]

Also tested with more machines. The issue appears to be resolved. Hope this doesn't cause any unforeseen effects.

Fix is part of VBox 4.3.14.
