If you control the MIB structure would it work for you to structure your MIB to
contain tables ? ie. when you read, say, CPU usage you will read a CPU usage
table with an entry for each machine - one MIB, one agent, multiple entries.

Subject: Is it possible to set up many SNMP agents managing the same MIB on the
same machine?
Hello everybody,
I'm new to net-snmp and I started reading documentation and making some tests.
However I have some experience with SNMP.
As you can see from the subject of my request, what I am trying to achieve is
something not typical when using SNMP and it is for sure tricky. I hope to find
some of you to have the patience to read my post until the end to understand
what I mean.
Typically SNMP requests are sent to diagnose the status of a target machine: to
achieve this the machine must be running an snmp agent and N sub agents each
managing a different MIB.
In my case the machine answering to SNMP is a "gateway" to N machines (that
don't implement SNMP) and the gateway must manage SNMP informations for each of
these machines. The N machines are identical and the informations for each are
described in the same MIB: as a consequence the gateway must have N agents
(answering on different ports) and N instances of the same sub-agent
implementing the target MIB. Each subagent will be then configured to connect
to its own machine to retrieve informations.
Is it possible to achieve this setup by using net-snmp? Or is it so far from
SNMP purpose that no one thought to this possibility?
Thanks in advance
