SubAgents should register a unique string with agent, in addition to the MIB 
(for more information see AGENTX REGISTER PDU).  SNMP Managers should give that 
string as context string in the SNMP requsets, thereby SNMP AGENT can locate 
the appropriate SubAgent.

Subject: Managing multiple instances of a MIB


In a scenario where there is a master agent, and there are subagents for each 
applications (separate mibs), how can we manage multiple instances of the same 
mib through the same master agent.

The scenario is -

Master Agent - M1,

Subagent S1 (implementing a1.mib for an instance a1 of application A) Subagent 
S2 (implementing a1.mib for an instance a2 of application A) Subagent S3 
(implementing a1.mib for an instance a3 of application A)


What do we need to make the master agent return 3 instances for every variable 
of a1.mib?

Say S1 returns lineStatus.0 = up(1)
Say S2 lineStatus.0 = down (2)
Say S3 lineStatus.0 = test (3)

Where lineStatus is a mib object of a1.mib, I am looking at how the 3 subagents 
can get registered with the master agent and when a manager queries the master 
agent, it gets all of the 3 statuses. Also, I need the solution to be dynamic 
where more instances of the application can be spawned on runtime. Has anyone 
been doing anything like this? If so, any pointers will be highly appreciated.

Best Regards,
Mark.
