Re: NET SNMP Sub agent development using snmpd [request for complete ROW in a table]

Hi Dev,

Thanks for the reply.

i have one more query :

is it possible for the sub agent to register the table and does not add
rows(index) to it and when the management client sends request for the
entire table.
we can send the data(multiple rows) in reply.

if it is possible than which approach we can use.
currently i have explored mib2c.create-dataset.conf for the table that
requires to add the rows to the table in advance.

Regards
Ashish Vashishtha
