Will the OID for a custom extend SNMP call be the same on multiple boxes?

CentOS 5.7 | SNMPD

This question is a little messy so I apologize in advance for any confusion.

I'm using the extend command in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf to run a script. I later used the snmpwalk utility to find the appropriate OID for this.

If I use the exact same command, script, relative paths, and OS will the OID be the same? Or are OIDs unique to each server?

Solution 1:

The design of the Extend MIB is that you would query the nsExtendConfigTable looking for the index that corresponds to the correct name, specified in the extend directive. Once you have that index, you can then query the tables nsExtendOutput1Table and nsExtendOutput2Table.

So, to answer your question, the OIDs will change, but are programmatically retrievable.
