If using standard MIBs is a requirement (and that is not
bad - normally), the only way to go, is using a SNMPv3 context
for each device. If SNMPv3 (currently the only SNMP standard)
is not to be supported, then a different community can be used
for each device too.

If you can design a fresh MIB set for your device set,
then you should use a table centric approach where the
first index of each table is a "device index".

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Frank
