Through a socket - typically either the named socket /var/agentx/master
or the TCP port 705.

Yes.
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.

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.
