Hi Robert,

Between SNMP Agent and Master OID is the common parameter. Will the Object
name also should be same in Master and Agent?

AFIK, SNMP master has to updates it's database with reference to the OID.
Can we make the database key as Object name and I'm passing Object name
from Agent to Master via specific OID. The Master has to read the Object
name and without depending on OID it will updates the database further.

Also could you confirm that Object Identifier(Numerical Name) and Object
Name (Textual Name) having same property except that dotted decimal and
string format?
