I believe it is possible to have multiple agents running at one time, where one
is the "master" and the others are AgentX subagents. I am not quite sure why
people use multiple agents, so perhaps someone can give me an example as to
when multiple agents would be nice to use.
Now, if I wanted to use multiple agents, then I understand I would need to
place the "master agentx" line into the "snmpd.conf" file to indicate the
"snmpd" agent is the "master" agent when it starts, however, I am not too sure
how one would define and start AgentX subagents.
If I wanted to define an AgentX subagent as well as a master agent, what would
i need to do and how would I start both of them at the same time?
I understand the AgentX subagents need to be defined with the master agent's
address so the AgentX subagent can register with the master when it is started.
I also understand that the master agent handles all the routing of the SNMP
requests to the appropriate subagents automatically (which is nice). I just do
not understand why subagents are required and how to start/configure them up if
I wanted to use one.
Again, I am trying to learn as much as I can so I can configure NetSNMP for my
company, so I want to make sure I am going about this in the best way possible
.... knwoing that I am new to all of the NetSNMP stuff.
PS: Are "AgentX subagents" and "subagents" the same thing or are there
different kinds of "subagents" allowed?
