Thanks for your input Dave. I have another question, The multivarbind snmpset pdu formation from a snmp manager is implementation specific or they will fetch the object sequence from the mib file?

No - the agent cannot assume that the varbind within a PDU will appear in a particular order. Nor can the client application that generates a SET assume that they will be processed in a given way. SNMP SET requests must be applied "as if simultaneously", i.e. the order is irrelevant. Typically this requires a multi-pass approach. First checking and validating each varbind individually, and then doing cross-varbind consistency checks. Have a look at the discussion in AGENT.txt of SET processing. and how some of the existing MIB module code handles this.
