> I'm not clear about the concept of the context in SNMPv3 version.
Contexts are typically used to implement parallel copies of
the same MIB tree. For example, if the agent is acting as
a front-end on behalf of several embedded subsystems.
By specifying a different context, the management application
can retrieve information about the different subsystems,
even if the MIB itself wasn't designed to support this.
It's not something that's widely used, but can be very useful
in particular circumstances.

PS: Please start a new thread when asking an unrelated question.
It's very confusing to have several topics bundled together.
Also, post to *either* -users *or* -coders, but not both.
Thanks
