4268.0. "Register/SHOW MIB extension" by CGOOA::BARNABE (Guy Barnabe (DIS) Regina/Canada) Thu Dec 17 1992 01:44

    MCC/VMS 1.2
    
    Not sure if this is normal but why does one have to REGISTER a
    SNMP node's private MIB extension in order to interrogate it?
    
    I thought that once the MIB extension was compiled and loaded 
    into the database, that you could directly interrogate the extension
    objects for a particular node.
    
    It seems that for every SNMP node I need to do a REGISTER SNMP foofoo
    PROTEON in order to view the objects.
    
    Or is there a way to get this done for you when registering the SNMP
    node the first time around?
    
    -- thanx,
       Guy

	During registration, the child mib entities which are supported by
	the SMNP entity get registered automatically. However, if the
	entity is partially registered, then none of the child entities
	get registered. There is a QAR against Registration FM regarding 
	this behaviour. (Partial registration of SNMP AM may happen due
	to the absence of internet names, which does not prevent normal
	operation).

	You will have to re-register all SNMP entities to get the appropriate
	mib child entities also registered, and subsequently appear on the
	map. You do not need to register each entity by hand. I believe
	the T1.3 release notes spell out a procedure which will allow
	re-registration to happen automatically.
