If you are trying to implement a MIB, then it would be helpful
to include a copy of this MIB, so that we can see exactly what
you are trying to aim for.

No.
The subagent will receive a SET or GET for a particular *instance*
of an object within this MIB.   It doesn't work with the MIB as a whole.

I would question whether that is a sensible approach.
Handling the hardware-specific information format is traditionally the
responsibility of the (sub)agent.   The point of SNMP is to protect the
management application from this level of detail - particularly since
different vendors equipment (or even different releases of kit from the
same vendor) may well report what is essentially the same information
in a subtly different format.

But it would probably be helpful if you could provide a concrete example
of what information the chip actually reports, and what this means.
