Yes - though only one subagent will be queried for any particular section of the tree. > if the registration of the MIB tree is > duplicated with another subagent then master agent > will give registration duplication error. If there are two *identical* registrations for *exactly* the same region of the tree, then this will result in a duplicate registration error - yes. But if one subagent registers for a subtree at a higher (or lower) level than the other, then this will work. So subagent A could register for the "system" group, while subagent B could register for the sysORTable. Both of these registrations would succeed. (And B would be responsible for sysORTable, while A would look after the rest of the system group. Regardless of who registered first). In addition, the AgentX registration includes a "priority" value - two subagents registering for the same subtree, but with different priorities, would also work. Though only the registration with the lower priority value would actually be used. So it's only if two subagents registered for the *same* subtree, and with the *same* priority that the second registration would fail. OK?
