What happens if you have a Group that contains only 1 parameter, which is an SNMP Table parameter, and which contains the <Content multipleGet="true"> tag.
Normally, that option is only used to speed up the polling of multiple stand-alone parameters, and is not meant for table parameters.
Could it cause any problems in the protocol, though, like pending calls?
For example :
Timer 1, contains several groups, but also group 600.
Group 600 contains multipleget="true" option, and only contains parameter 600.
Parameter 600 is an SNMP table using the multipleGetBulk option.
I wouldn't expect any issues apart from the fact that the call may fail if the table cannot be retrieved by some reason. My only doubt is if this would override the polling definition you may have in the table itself. However, if you are afraid it may break something, removing that option from the group is not an option?
The reason I asked is because I saw a couple of RTEs on a protocol, and pending calls on a group that only contained a table, but with this multipleget=”true”.
It seemed a bit odd that this would cause the RTEs, that is why I posted the question.
I can of course make a version without it, but as the RTEs for this protocol were rare I thought I would ask if it is known whether or not this could cause any averse effects.
