Hello codders, John,

The third way to register some rows in table via AgentX is to use
'netsnmp_register_handler' with set 'range_subid' and 'range_ubound' to the
point in the oid, where is defined column number for the object and with the
oid for the whole (!) row, included with the ifIndex at the end.

In that way registered handler will always get only the request for the
registered ifIndex, but for all column objects. Of course, in the handler
you shouldn't forget to implement  serving multiple request and
MODE_GET_NEXT requests (depends on the flags)...

Anyway, if you gonna look at mailing list, I already made some questions
concerning the same problem you have. I tried with registering intances,
but... if you have big number of objects, memory consumption of the running
agent drasticaly increase.

I hope, that this will help you some way.

Enjoy,
Igor G.

   SNMP Coders,

 I have searched online for a couple of days now, and
 have read rstory"s faq quite throughly, but I can"t
 seem to find a good way to register additional rows to
 an existing (standard) table such as the ifmib through
 AgentX.  The only way I have found to do this is to
 register each OID in the table for each inteface using
 netsnmp_watcher and netsnmp_instance... which means
 alot of registering, and alot of function handlers.
 This is very inefficient and non-extensible.

 AgentX will be running on another machine and I want
 that sub agent to add in (register) its ethernet
 interfaces to an exisiting agent.  That way, when the
 network manager walks the IFMIB of the exisiting
 agent, it will be able to see the interfaces on the
 exisiting agent AND the interfaces on the machine that
 is running the subagent.  I hope this makes sense.  If
 you need me to draw up some pictures to explain more
 clearly, let me know.

 Thank you for any support you can provide,

 John
