RE: NET-SNMP V3 question.

This is how I did in  subagent code to talk to master agent. Now how will the client(snmp manager) call the master/subagent remotely? What should be in snmpd.conf file?

netsnmp_ds_set_string(NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID,
                               NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_X_SOCKET, "tcp:127.0.0.1.705");

Thanks,

Pil
