Yes - that is the correct approach for implementing a table that will shared across several subagents. It's less necessary if the table is fully contained within a single subagent, since this subagent can control which index values are selected. None of the MIB modules in the Net-SNMP agent code try to implement such shared tables, so it doesn't surprise me that there aren't any examples of this approach. You should also be aware that this code won't have seen particularly widespread use, so it may not be as robust as some other areas of the agent. > If I do, where and when do I do it? You'd use this call immediately before registering a row in the table, to decide what index value to register it with. So it would typically be used in the 'load()' function (or similar) where the contents of the table are set up. > I'm hoping to use the MFD template from mib2c, as well. Robert's more familiar with that template than I am, but I'd expect this code to appear in the 'countainer_load' routine.
