Even if the table is indexed "non-predictably" (and is dynamic), you can still have a MIB object to report the size of the table. But to retrieve the _contents_ of the table, the NMS will need to walk the table - i.e. use GetNext to step from one row to the next. That's pretty much inherent in the fundamental design of SNMP. You could use the row-count object to determine the size of the table, and then issue a single GetBulk request for that many repetitions. This would pull down the whole table in one go. But in essence, it's still just a GetNext-based walk of the table (just without the overheads of separate request/response packets) Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
