esnmp_register2

Requests registration of a single MIB subtree. This indicates to the master agent
that the subagent instantiates MIB variables within the registered MIB subtree.

Description
A pointer to a subtree structure corresponding to the
MIB subtree to be handled. The subtree structures
are externally declared and initialized in the code
emitted by the MIBCOMP command (subtree_TBL.C
and subtree_TBL.H, where subtree is the name of the
MIB subtree). This code is taken directly from the MIB
document.
All memory pointed to by this field must have
permanent storage since it is referenced by
for the duration of the program. You should use the
data declarations emitted by the MIBCOMP command.
The registration priority. The entry with the largest
number has the highest priority. The range is 1 to 255.
The subagent that has registered a MIB subtree with
the highest priority over a range of object identifiers
gets all requests for that range of OIDs.
MIB subtrees that are registered with the same
priority are considered duplicates, and the registration
is rejected by the master agent.
The priority field is a mechanism for cooperating
subagents to handle different configurations.
The number of seconds the master agent should wait
for responses when requesting data in this MIB
subtree. This value must be between zero and 300.
If the value is zero, the default timeout (3 seconds)
is used. You should use the default. For information
about modifying the default timeout value, refer to
Section 6.2.
An integer value that, when nonzero, together with
the range_upper_bound field specifies a range instead
of one of the MIB subtree's OID subidentifiers. The
range_subid field specifies the OID subidentifier
modified by the range_upper_bound field.
