The DESCRIPTION of InetAddress says:
When this textual convention is used as the syntax of an
index object, there may be issues with the limit of 128
sub-identifiers specified in SMIv2, STD 58. In this case,
the OBJECT-TYPE declaration MUST include a 'SIZE' clause
to limit the number of potential instance sub-identifiers."
How do I include a SIZE and still retain the flexibility of supporting
future types? Include the max SIZE that will fit (e.g. I have two
InetAddresses in an INDEX so make them SIZE(1..120))? Or, since I
only expect to see IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, make them SIZE(4|16|20)?
Thanks,
Bill
