This is not correct. In SMIv2, INDEX objects are not accessible because the values of these objects are embedded in the instance identifier. In other words, making INDEX objects not-accessible was a performance optimization, forcing SNMP managers to extract the INDEX object values out of the instance identifiers. Making INDEX objects not accessible does _not_ hide any information. /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH Phone: +49 421 200 3587 Campus Ring 1 | 28759 Bremen | Germany Fax: +49 421 200 3103 <http://www.jacobs-university.de/> _______________________________________________ netmod mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/netmod
