If you will only have one instance of this "myVersion" value,
then define two scalar objects - myVersionDigits and
myVersion. If you might have multiple instances of these
values, then you'd define a table with these as the columns.
But part of the "Simple" in SNMP is that it doesn't actually
support user-defined structures - you've got single instances
and tables, and nothing else.
Any higher-level structuring needs to be imposed on top
of this, by suitable MIB-specific applications. As far as the
MIB and agent are concerned, the version number and the
state are separate objects.
