Making SNMP queries in iRules

From other questions people have asked, it looks like there is no built-in command for SNMP queries that you can make from iRules. Is that still true (running LTM 11.6)?   If that is not possible...

    Running an periodic iCall Job in the Config-Plane to query SNMP and write results to a DG would be a much easier and elegant alternative. No? Dealing with ASN1-BER in iRules isn't much fun... 🙂

    Cheers, Kai

This member has not been back on-site since before we moved (over 1 year) - so maybe an opportunity for an enterprising community member to help JRahm out of a bind?

JRahm wrote to me offline:

I have an ASN irule I'm working on that does discovery of BER/DER attributes independent of SNMP protocol.

What say ye‽
