Firstly, AgentX doesn't run over UDP. It typically uses TCP or a local named socket. Secondly, each subagent will automatically choose a random TCP port, when it connects to the master agent. You don't need to worry about this, it happens automatically. > 2- When I send an snmp request, how will the snmpd know which subagent is > suppose to handle the request When the subagent connects to the master agent, it registers for the OIDs that it is willing to handle. The master agent keeps a record of these registrations, and passes incoming SNMP requests off to the appropriate subagent. > shouldn't I add something in the > configuration to help the snmpd decide which subagent will handle the > request? No. That's one of the significant differences between AgentX and the previous SMUX protocol. The master agent does *not* need to know what subagents to expect or what OIDs they will handle. All of this is handled on-the-fly when the subagents connect and register. See the RFC specifications for more details.
