Otherwise you can use the UNIQUE flag and set the preferred (e.g. newer, more precise) source for a value first in the list of same-named mappings in existing file - if there's a hit on an actual device, it will be used and not iterated onwards. The flag is not yet supported for all cases though (e.g. daisy-chained devices), so some other combinations would set the preferred value mapping last in list.

the gen-snmp script -- VERY handy... looks like I just have to fish through the MIB (which seems pretty well documented) to add the beef...


As for the UNIQUE flag, since this is SNMP, I'm guessing we'll have the network plug-ins that are the old MIB (I'll have to look it up) versus the new network modules that support the v2.0 MIB.

for now, I'm building a separate .C and .H file.

More later..
