The environment I am running is one subabgent and one masteragent, where I want the subagent to control, store, and save in an sql database the snmpEnableAuthenTraps object value. Therefore I need to be able to control the get/set of this object in the subagent.
I want to be able to allow/not allow the sening of authentication traps from my system - via the mib object snmpEnableAuthenTraps. Is it possible to do this - without the subagent taking over all of the other snmp_mib objects? If not does net-snmp have working api's to get the snmp counters?

Even if there is a way, this is a really bad idea. I think you should re-examine what you are trying to do, and extract your control logic to an external application, for which the subagent can provide data. This is typical SNMP design, and there is good reason for it. Also be sure to document clearly any changes to the master agent configuration your application may make, as such changes have implications on all applications working with that master. Therefore, it is probably better to have your application configure its notification listener to process or ignore authentication traps, rather than turning them on or off on the master agent(s). > If I take over the snmp_mib and use > snmp_get_statistic(STAT_SNMPINASNPARSEERRS)I get invalid data from > net-snmp.
