There is no such thing as a "request for an entire table".

With one exception, all SNMP requests have a 1-1 relationship
between varbinds in the incoming request, and those in the
corresponding response.
   The only request that doesn't work in this way is GETBULK.

But the SNMP protocol itself has no concept of tables
(or even table rows) - it purely works in terms of individual
values.   It's up to the client application to work out what
to ask for, and display the responses appropriately.


I suggest you buy/borrow/steal a good book on SNMP, and
review your understanding of the basic model.

As far as coding an agent is concerned, you just write a module
that can respond to requests for each of the individual instances.
That will then work with whatever approach the management
client uses.
