Hi, Mike
Maybe I asked a confusing question in last mail. What I really want to
know is how to use net-snmp lib api to fetch the correct ip address, thanks!

You don't - you can use get-next from the top of the table and discover
the indexes.

SNMP can run over many different transports. Also, there are purely IP
elements, such as NAT, that may cause you to communicate with a host using an
IP address which is not on that host.
