Thanks Dave. I got almost all the doubt answered. Yes, the table is indexed by an integer - in this case the moduleId is the index. However it can be any integer number set up by user. These number (moduleId) can be read by agent from a text file. According to the example at the init time the agent can read this text file and store all the moduleId in a memory.
What I'm not clear is how the var_xxxtable() return each instance to correlate to the data previous read? i.e How the agent correlates the array element to each instance? Said .1.3.6.1.4.1..........moduleId.0 =100, .1.3.6.1.4.1....moduleId.1=101, .1.3.6.1.4.1....moduelId.2 = 300 Does this handled by the header_simple_table()?

The agent is asked for a particular value - either "give me this value" or "give me the next value after this". It's the *client* side (snmpwalk) that uses this to list the configured modules, by sending a sequence of requests. The agent treats each request completely independently. > Will a header_simple_table routine sufficient enough to handle > the iteration? That depends on the definition of your MIB.

Quite correct. > I think what I am not clear about is how all the rows of data > in the table are returned? Each time the var_table() returns one > value and goes on the next oid, isn't it? No - each time, the var_table() routine returns one value. End of story (as far as the agent is concerned). It's *snmpwalk* that goes on to the next OID. > How do I "list" them (the same oid but different instance) header_simple_table() will handle most of this for you. Call that routine, extract the index value from the OID (i.e. the last entry in the 'name' array), and the return the requested value (vp->magic) from that particular row.
