While I'm sure that the U.C. Davis (that's who "2021" belongs to) would be more than happy to share their private SNMP subtree with us, it's a better idea to register your _own_ subtree. That way you can be absolutely sure that you're not messing things up by using OIDs that may already get used for something else in your environment. Actually, why don't you check through the following list to see if you company already _has_ a subtree of its own? -> http:// www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers Also, your statement about the "exec" command is false. The results from the script will not fall under 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8 per default. They only will do so if you tell the daemon to do that, through snmpd.conf. It's just that the net-SNMP people have used the 2021 range for their _examples_. Admittedly, the chance of something going wrong by you using someone else's SNMP subtree are slim to none. But I'm always in favor of the most elegant option, if there's a choice. Cheers! Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
