Always return the next instance after, but not including, the queried value, or the end of view indicator (null?). > 2 - if I'm expected to return a value as a reply to GETNEXT > call, why then my subagent is called again with GET mode? I can't say for sure, but there's nothing inherently wrong with this. GET and GETNEXT should not cause any changes to the system state for this reason. > 3 - if I'm expected to return only the index (modified oid?) > of the next valid instance, do I modify the > name field of the netsnmp_variable_list struct? I don't know - a little help from the list, please? > 4 - when snmpget command is called on one of the columns of a > table do I return all the instances of that column? No. Only return the exact instance asked for, and only if it exists.
