It allows you to skip one or more identifiers in an OID specification. The typical use case is for tables - access can be allowed to some of the conceptual columns by setting the mask bit to 0 for the index. This does not, of course, work for string valued indices, which may explain why some MIBs may be indexed by an arbitrary integer when there is one or more string values that uniquely identify the conceptual row. > > > HTH, > > Mike > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
