What is different of Master Agent and Subagents job?
Master Agent : – Master Agent does not contain any information other than the subagent details. It just acts as a forwarder between the Manager and the Subagent. The Manager would forward the request to the Master Agent which in turn would forward to the Subagent registered in it. The Master Agent identifies the Subagents either using their OID or Community or Instance (three ways of registering subagents). Subagent : – Subagents contain the MIB information and thus provides the required information to the Manager through the Master Agent.
