5.2 Method Routines

5.2 Method Routines

SNMP requests may contain many encoded MIB variables. The

libsnmp

code

executing in a subagent matches each

VariableBinding

with an object table

entry. The object table’s method routine is then called. Therefore, a method
routine is called to service a single MIB variable. Since a single method routine
can handle a number of MIB variables, the same method routine may be called
several times during a single SNMP request.

The method routine calling interface contains the following functions:

•

*_get

—respond to

Get

,

GetNext

, and

GetBulk

requests

•

*_set

—respond to

Set

requests
