It's not mandatory, in that no-one will be chasing after
you with a large axe if you fail to support it!
Fundamentally, the groups/objects that *must* be implemented
are the ones that you (or your customers) want to use.
  There'll probably be a general assumption that any
SNMP agent will typically implement most of the original
MIB-2 groups (or system/snmp at the very least!), but as
long as you make clear what your agent does/does not support,
you should be OK.


If you wish to claim compliance with particular MIBs,
then this will affect the groups/objects that you need
to support.

You need to *request* a private enterprise number, yes.
It won't cost you anything - it's a free service.
See www.iana.org

For testing purposes, you are free to use the
  Net-SNMP-MIB::netSnmpPlaypen subtree - but we'd ask
that you don't make anything public that uses these OIDs.
