	I'm not sure what you mean here.  All  MIB elements are discontinuous, because OIDs are discrete.  I'm thinking you mean one of two things:

	1)  There is a "missing row".  This is a routine situation, and you should not assume that row numbers will be strictly incrementing.

	2)  There is a "missing element".  A row may not have all its elements, depending on the MIB definition.  This is called a "sparse table", and is also valid SNMP>

	Neither case should prevent an snmpwalk from succeeding.


	HTH,

Mike
