The entries above are sufficient to enable access to MIBs registered
using code of the form:

> netsnmp_handler_registration *reg;

>  reg->contextName = strdup("my_context");

The rest of your snmpd.conf settings are not relevant to "my_context" queries.


Note that the SNMP requests would need to specify this context as well:

    snmpget -v 3 -n my_context -u myuser2 -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A
private_pass ....

(or equivalent snmp.conf client directives).
If you're using a MIB browser, then you'll need to check the documentation
for that application to see how to set the context.
