I am using snmp4j-agent to implement a Cisco switch simulator.
I am particularly interested in the dot1dTpFdbTable.
The problem is that I need to simulate what Cisco calls "Community
String Indexing".
What is means, is that each VLAN in the switch corresponds to a different
agent instance, listening on the same UDP port, but responding based on
which community you use.
Example:
community: public -> dot1dTpFdbTable will have the MACs of the default VLAN
community: public at 1 -> dot1dTpFdbTable will have the MACs of VLAN 1
community: public at 55 -> dot1dTpFdbTable will have the MACs of VLAN 55
Is this supported in the snmp4j library? How should I approach this problem?
More details on community string indexing can be found in:

Thanks!
