I’m implementing some code which provides an SNMP interface for one of several equipment types, selectable by the user. So the code needs to select and use one of a number of MIBs at run-time, depending on the equipment type being supported (but only one MIB at a time).

I’ve found a slightly messy way to do this, but wondered if anyone else had come up with a way.

I think you can set model name for every type, and the model name is saved in non-volatile memory. You can read the model name from non-volatile memory and know the type. You can register the corresponding MIBs when the system power cycle after you changed the model name.
