Re: Connect 1 agent/application to several snmpd/master

Hi all,

I am in progress of implementing more than one parent agent for one agentX.
The problem I try to solve is that I have multiple MIB with same OID but
different vrfs.

Do you have any proposals on how to stick MIBs to one dedicated parent
connection ?
From the sub agent trap code, I can see that a trap is supposed to be sent
to all pending connections, but I think this is not what should be done by
default ?
Thanks,

Regards,
Philippe
