Is there any good excuse that SNMP client software can't handle a basic design of SNMP - indexed tables? ifIndex is far from the only index in SNMP, and many of them still change today at various times. It isn't that hard to fetch the indexed field in a bulk get, rewalking the table if you don't get what you expected. Cricket did this in 1999. -- Chris Adams <c...@cmadams.net>
