Hi!
Thank you very much Dave for constant support.
whether I need to write " master -X Agentx " in the
snmpd.conf file to make my agent to behave as Master agent. What are
all things do I need to configure in the snmpd.conf to behave as a
Master agent. Do I need to write separate code for master agent.
1. How will master agent will come to know about
subagents, I mean how many subagents are there under him.
2. How master agent will send request to particular
agent.
I think master agent should know ip address and oid of
the sugagents, otherwise it should register the ip address and oid of
the subagents, other wise how he will come to know about subagents.
please help out, I am bit confused state. Please help
me.
With Regards.
G.Siva Prakash Reddy.

As far as the Net-SNMP agent is concerned, this is handled
automatically. As long as it knows whether it's running as an AgentX
subagent or as the master agent (e.g. the -X flag), then the agent
framework will register the
MIBs appropriately. Nothing special needs to be done in the MIB code.

No - that's not correct for the Net-SNMP agent.
A quick Google seems to indicate that this is taken from the
documentation relating to the Solaris SNMP agent. You will need to
contact Sun about how to configure that agent - this mailing list is for
support of the Net-SNMP suite only.
