Net-snmp gets the interface information from the kernel. If your embedded system provides the information to the kernel, net-snmp should pick it up.

As far as future compatibility goes, getting the kernel to recognize your interfaces is the best option. If that's not possible, then you'll have to maintain proprietary patches against net-snmp. -- Robert Story; NET-SNMP Junkie Support: <http://www.net-snmp.org/> <irc://irc.freenode.net/#net-snmp> Archive: <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=net-snmp-users> You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
