And indeed there was. Looking at snmpwalk output I believe I understand now=
=2E=20

IF-MIB::ifNumber.0 =3D INTEGER: 7
IF-MIB::ifIndex.1 =3D INTEGER: 1
IF-MIB::ifIndex.2 =3D INTEGER: 2
IF-MIB::ifIndex.3 =3D INTEGER: 3
IF-MIB::ifIndex.4 =3D INTEGER: 4
IF-MIB::ifIndex.5 =3D INTEGER: 5
IF-MIB::ifIndex.6 =3D INTEGER: 6
IF-MIB::ifIndex.7 =3D INTEGER: 7

So rows are never returned in whole, each full OID includes the index by wh=
ich
you know which row the requestor is asking for.=20

If I'm wrong, please tell me.=20
