Subagent contexts and SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB

[Frank Fock]

Mike,

You would query an agent configured with the SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB
as you would query any SNMPv1/v2c agent. No special options! For each
context you want to query you will have to specify a different community.
Which communities are mapped to which contexts is configured in the
 SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB. That's what it is for.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Frank
