[AGENT++] Access to parent or sibling MIB OIDs from an AgentX subagent

[MATTY, Steven]

Hi

I am in the process of converting a single, large monolithic SNMP Agent to a distributed Master/SubAgent AgentX++ model.
We use AgenPro to generate our MIB code. Some MIB elements have validation in their respective OIDs' value_ok() methods which reference elements in other (currently linked into the same executable) MIBs, e.g.

Setting mibA.name will check the value of mibB.name to check they are not identical :

bool mibA_name::value_ok(const Vbx& vb)
{
  bool result=true;
  char *valueB = mibB_name::instance->get_state().get_printable();

  // The value cannot be the same as the value of name in mibB
 if(strcmp(valueB, vb.get_printable()==0)
  {
    result=false;
  }
  return result;
}

So, my question is - using the AgentX++ Master/SubAgent model, can a  SubAgent access OIDs from elsewhere in the MIB, without resorting to executing  snmp get ...

Regards

Steve
