Response as <mahesh> -----Original Message----- From: Mark Clinton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 12, 2005 12:27 AM To: Kurapati M-G19456 Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: Managing multiple instances of a MIB
Thank you. I tried to look for documentation, could not find enough. Can you please tell me: 1) What API call I need to change in the net-snmp subagent to register with the master agent using different contexts everytime? <Mahesh>: You can have a look at the API agentx_register(). 2) How to configure net-snmp daemon to use these different contexts so that I can use net-snmp commandline to test the different subagents running on different contexts? <mahesh> I don't think you need to do anything special at the Agent level. 3) If I use an SNMP v1 manager, how will it handle the scenario? I mean, say I have 3 instances of a1.mib running under different context, how will an SNMP v1 request for a variable say lineStatus will be handled? Will the master agent just send the SNMP v1 manager the response of the first subagent that is registered with it? or will it return noSuchName? <Mahesh>: Only SNMPv3 has this support. You can not use SNMPv1 Manager. Any help will be highly appreciated.
