You would take the generated code file, fill in the gaps, and compile it into the SNMP agent (either a native agent for the system you are developing on, or cross-compiled for some other target system). Once you've got the MIB module code file, mib2c is no longer required. > I can always install it on a host computer and run it.

If you've got an AgentX-capable master agent, then you can run a separate AgentX client, to implement a new MIB module without touching the original agent. There are also mechanisms for extending the agent by using scripts - either SNMP-knowledgeable ("pass" or perl extensions), or SNMP-ignorant ("exec" or "extend") See the FAQ entry "How do I extend the agent?" for more info Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-users mailing list [email protected] Please see the following page to unsubscribe or change other options: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-users
