> Hi All,
> I had one linux machine(A) with RHELs4 and a net-snmp agent (5.4.1) is
> running on it. I  have another linux machine (B)
> With net-snmp 5.4.1 running on it. I have configured A as to proxy some
> OIDs to B. This I have done according to documentation.
> See the documentation below 
> If you want to have the same OID tree proxied to multiple devices, (e.g.
> so the proxy responds as if it were the proxied device), you need to use
> contexts. Contexts were introduced in SNMPv3, but Net-SNMP had a feature
> to have a SNMPv1 community string map to a context for proxying. You will
> need a unique community string per proxied device. 
> My requirement is that instead of having a separate community string(
> proxy ) for B to be used while proxying from A , I want to use the 
> Same community string for both A and B . Finally , what I want to achieve
> it is something like :
> 
> Linux Box A (community string test) should respond to OIDS till .1.3.6.1
> and for OIDS in subtree .1.3.6.1.4.1.562.3.21.6 A should proxy the request
> 
> To linux box B using the same community string. Please let me know if
> that's possible ? Thanks in advance for your valuable time.
