Isn't there some unique identifier associated with each box? If so, you should
use that as the primary index for the table.

MIBs aren't designed to be dynamic, representing dynamic data. You can sort of
do it with several tables and references between them, but then it requires an
intelligent application to to connect them all together.

The other approach is to make a table which has a string index to identify the
device and parameter name for each value.. eg

myDevice.myIntegerTable.myIntegerEntry.myIntValue."device-1"."status" = 5
myDevice.myIntegerTable.myIntegerEntry.myIntValue."device-1"."temp" = 86
myDevice.myIntegerTable.myIntegerEntry.myIntValue."device-3"."status" = 2

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
