The first thing that the subagent does is to register with the master agent. This is part of the standard Net-SNMP agent initialisation, if it's running as a subagent. > If we have multiple subagents running how will the master > agent come to know which subagent it shoud invoke? Each subagent will register one or more areas of the OID tree. The master agent uses this information to decide where to send particular requests. See RFC 2741 for full details.
