Hi,
=20
Could you please let us know if Net-Snmp supports agentX MIB? It looks
like net-SNMP supports agentX protocol (RFC 2471) but not the agentX Mib
(RFC 2472).=20

=20

I did some POC/testing on Linux with NetSNMP version 5.3 as follows:

*=09
Installed and configure Net-SNMP on Linux (RedHat).
*=09
Registered subagents (developed using iReasoning) with Net-SNMP
Master Agent
*=09
Configured V3 users with Net-SNMP

Observations:

*=09
Able to walk on subagents's MIB using V3 users via NetSNMP
Master Agent --> I means it supports agentX protocol.=20
*=09
When tried to walk on AgentX-MIB from NMS tools, it results
nothing/empty. It sounds to me that NetSNMP support AgentX protocol but
does not implement AgentX-MIB
