Re: [MIB-DOCTORS] RFC 4001 question

Hi,

I think the right answer is "use a tool that supports multiple
varbinds in a message".

I don't have the time right now to look up the reference, but I think
support for multiple varbinds is required for compliance to the SNMPv3
standard. That is probably stated in RFC 3416.
