Yes I am using older v4 UCD-style module API and hard coded the different context name for two instances of same OID while filling register pdu for testing purpose.

My whole idea depends on using same call back function (var_*) to retrieve data for multiple instances. Because of mib instances will be created dynamically I can't keep different var_* functions. Only registration can be done dynamically on same oid along with different context (Instance ID). To achieve this what I am thinking is to drag the context (Instance ID) sent by master agent to subagent up to var_* functions and use that for retrieving values. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Shield Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2006 9:32 PM To: Jayaprakasha Guddenahalli Naganna Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: registering same oid twice with different context and single (same)callback function (var_*) from one agentx subagent On 29/08/06, Jayaprakasha Guddenahalli Naganna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am able to register same oid twice with different context and single > (same) callback function (var_*) from one agentx subagent. Correct. That's the purpose of the context field. > By using the above technique can I support multiple instance of same OID by > passing context name ..... Yes > ..... to "var_ipForwardSingle" function...? Probably not. That sounds as if you're using the older v4 UCD-style module API. I don't believe that API supports the use of contexts. Have a look at the newer v5 handler-based modules. That API should support non-default contexts, *without* needing to change the API itself (which would not be acceptable). > Will this be an efficient and valid solution with respect to all > circumstances? Is there any drawback with above solution? There is no way that we would contemplate changing an established API. But the newer v5 approach should support this OK.
