RE: Trap question: OID for variable from a table

So since this is a single indexed table, the vmName would be the last
index, making .118.109.49 acceptable. Plus I've defined it with IMPLIED
(although is that really necessary?):

    vmTableEntry OBJECT-TYPE
        SYNTAX  VMTableEntry
        MAX-ACCESS  not-accessible
        STATUS  current
        DESCRIPTION
            "A description of a vm."
        INDEX   { IMPLIED vmName }
        ::= { vmTable 1 }

And the "3" in your second example would be the length of the actual
string value, oh Jedi Master.  ;-)

Many thanks for your help, Dave!

Perhaps.
It depends on whether the index is IMPLIED or not.

If it's IMPLIED (which is only possible for the last index in a
table), then yes.
If not, then "vm1" would actually be 3.118.109.49

Where the '3' comes from is left as an exercise for the student....
