Good Morning,
I have a couple of questions.
Is it common/good design to find code managing a MIB Object 'table' reference data in another MIB Object 'Table'. For instance, one table contains information about clients that have registered with the SNMP Agent and a second table uses the first table to determine where on the network to send Traps or Unsolicited Responses to.
Is it good practice to use Octet Strings as indexes for a Table? If so, do most Network Management Applications have the ability to take a text stirng input from the user and convert the string to dotted ASCII sequence for sending to the Agent.
Have you heard of any implementation where SNMP is used query information in the same manner as SQL but using SMI?
Thanks in advance,
Chris Petrick
