2008/4/23 Wang, John <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > 1. What's the IMO? In My Opinion
> 2. What's the model of proxy forwarding assumed in SNMP-PROXY-MIB The Proxy MIB model will look at the contex of an incoming request, (or the community string), and use that administrative information to decide whether/where to forward it. But the request is treated as a single indivisible entity. The master agent will either forward the whole thing, or none of it. It doesn't actually have to parse the internal PDU in any way, It can simply pass it on as is. > and used in Net-SNMP? The Net-SNMP agent can be configure to delegate particular subtrees to another agent. So it will look at the individual varbinds from the incoming request (rather than just the context/community), and pass on selected portions of the request. This is a more flexible arrangement, but means that the master agent *does* have to parse the internal PDU - even if it's actually not going to process anything itself Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
