Hello All We are using net-snmp 5.7.1 and extended the snmp agent with our enterprise specific mibs. We have used “ mib2c -c mib2c.iterate.conf” option to generate skeleton code for Table objects. Now the tables we are implementing contains dynamic data, so as per our implementation, the snmpd fetches current data on every time it gets a walk request(after catche time out time ). However it takes a long time to fetch the data from third party service (CORBA service in our case) and loading it in snmp table. During this it responds back timeout for the snmp walk request (Timeout: No Response from xxx.xxx.xxx.xx) We also tried out using increase cache time out “(define XX_PORTGROUPTABLE_TIMEOUT 60 “ to 600) and using option –t in snmp utility side. 1. We would like to know what is the best approach to implement dynamic table object in net-snmp? We are re-populating the complete table for snmp walk request if the time lag between two successive requests exceeds the cache timeout. Is it the right approach ? 2. Does net-snmp support retry mechanism? i.e. Since in our case it takes around 5-10 minutes to populate complete table, is there any way that will keep the client session alive instead of responding timeout. ~Suresh
