When I was forced to do this, I invented my own MIB that 'tableified' all of the information that I needed to aggregate across the 'cluster'. I then implemented that MIB with software that interpreted the indexes to find out what 'device in the cluster' I needed to access, and then (as a proxy) retrieved the remote data, and responded (inside my 'aggregate' MIB). So as the other response said, "you can't add indexes to an existing MIB", but I created my own MIB that had indexes. I.e. ...myMib.sysdescr.[index] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA® Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now! http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-coders mailing list Net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-coders
