Hi All,
We are doing a test to check the agent to handle large sub-ids after 
replacing the instance sub identifiers in the attribute id,
with the largest 32 bit unsigned long. A SNMPv2C agent is expected to 
respond back with a noSuchInstance value.

The above result are as per RFC 3416 :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Upon receipt of a GetRequest-PDU, the receiving SNMP entity processes
  each variable binding in the variable-binding list to produce a
  Response-PDU.  All fields of the Response-PDU have the same values as
  the corresponding fields of the received request except as indicated
  below.  Each variable binding is processed as follows:

  (1)   If the variable binding's name exactly matches the name of a
        variable accessible by this request, then the variable
        binding's value field is set to the value of the named
        variable.
 
  (2)   Otherwise, if the variable binding's name does not have an
        OBJECT IDENTIFIER prefix which exactly matches the OBJECT
        IDENTIFIER prefix of any (potential) variable accessible by
        this request, then its value field is set to "noSuchObject".

  (3)   Otherwise, the variable binding's value field is set to
        "noSuchInstance".
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/opt/servers/netsnmp/bin/snmpget  -v 2c -c private  172.16.8.86 
1.3.6.1.2.1.92.1.1.1.0
NOTIFICATION-LOG-MIB::nlmConfigGlobalEntryLimit.0 = Gauge32: 1000

The subidentifier is changed to 4294967295 from 0. But the below query 
returns "noSuchObject" in place of "noSuchInstance".
/opt/servers/netsnmp/bin/snmpget  -v 2c -c private  172.16.8.86 
1.3.6.1.2.1.92.1.1.1.4294967295
NOTIFICATION-LOG-MIB::nlmConfigGlobalEntryLimit.4294967295 = No Such 
Object available on this agent at this OID

Is there something wrong with my understanding ?

Regards,
Manjit
