Re: Net SNMP Agent

Hello,

As suggested in the first option

if i make my process p1 as a net snmp subagent using agentx than will the
snmp master agent(SNMPD) will forward all the incoming requests to P1(as
there can be more than one sub-Agent)?

is it possible to filter incoming requests from the snmpd to the p1 based on
the range of the OIDs ?
if yes than how this filtering can be done.
