Re: SNMP Proxy - Multiple Devices Same MIB

Hi,

Thanks for your response

Related questions,

1)Is your master agent SNMPD or created by self.

Basically Will the creation of 'grand-unified' OID format,will it pe
possible by snmpd
by just configuration or we need to implement code for this ( of what
size/complexity)

2) Can we achive same functionality without using master agent
If SNMP mnager does GetNext will it be possible to browse all devices one
after another ?

Thanks & Regards,
Peyush.
