size restriction for Object Identifier used as an Table Index....

Hi,
When Iam using an object Identifier as an Index to a Table, Iam getting an error in libsmi tool, saying that the OID size can exceed the limit by 24 subIdentifiers. To my knowledge, I think that we cannot impose a size restriction on Object Identifier data type. So, whether this warning is valid and if so what should I do to remove this warning.
Regards, Vivekanandan.V

You are right. That's why the warning message has the funny wording "... should but cannot have a size restriction". Please regard, the warning messages (level > 3) as suggestions and hints to the MIB author, not as strict error messages. Hence, it's not in any case the goal to eliminate all warning messages.
