net-snmp agent support status
Can anyone tell me if the libsmi, smiquery netsnmp output format is compatable with the UCD 4.2 release requirements. I've taken a quick look at the netsnmp sample agent which is mib2c generated versus what libsmi generates for the same mib and they appear to differ . Im new to both of these toolkits so I appreciate any help.

The netsnmp output generated by smidump certainly differs from the mib2c output since we believe that the code generated by mib2c exposes the programmer with way too many SNMP specifics. The goal behind the netsnmp format is to split things into stubs (which you never really should look at) and an implementation module framework (which you need to complete in order to implement a MIB).
Please keep in mind that the netsnmp output generated by smidump is experimental and there are potentially many things that need further work.
