Hey Garry,

It's software, so anything is possible :-) Unfortunately, without 
spending some time, I don't know off hand what it would take to do 
what's described.

Cheers!

When they are saying they don't need to recompile their code for each
product are they referring to dynamically extending the agent? 

The base SNMP agent which is supplied with 6.5 is not dynamically
extensible and does not have a toolkit which can generate skeleton code
for extending the MIB support of the agent. The only way to extend this
agent is to modify the agent code. 

There is a SNMP agent in the foundry "net-snmp" which I believe does
have some of this capability. I think it offers both static and dynamic
extensibility via a toolkit, but I have not used it, so I am can't say
from experience how extensive the support is. In this case the toolkit
would generate skeleton code which can be filled in with the code to set
or get the MIB database entry data you are interested in. 

There are also 3rd parties such as NuDesign and SNMP Research which
offer much more feature rich packages. 

Thanks

Dave
