Assume a MIB contains a table indexed by MAC address. What's the correct behavior by the agent when a manager requests myTable.0.1
? This is an incomplete index.
Some possibilities that I see:
- Return the first row in the table -- treat this partial index as coming before the first row.
- Treat this as a subtree -- return rows in the table that match this MAC prefix.
- Return no rows -- treat this as coming after the last row in the table.
- Return some kind of error?
