	You may be able to create entries in an ipNetToMediaTable, but you cannot change them, as the MAX-ACCESS of the two non-index objects is read-create.

>I loaded RFC 4293 MIB. 

	Loading the MIB (the definition of the data structures) and having a running MIB implementation are two different things.  I know that net-snmp supports ths table on at least some platforms:

[SNIP]
$ snmpgetnext -v 1 -c public localhost ipNetToMediaTable
RFC1213-MIB::ipNetToMediaIfIndex.4.192.168.2.1 = INTEGER: 4
$ 
[/SNIP]

	That is not what "deprecated" means.  The table is still implemented, but *you should not use it for new work*.  That is what "deprecated" means.


	HTH,
