.SH MODULE
snmpa_mpd \- Message Processing and Dispatch module for the SNMP agent
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The module \fIsnmpa_mpd\fR implements the version independent Message Processing and Dispatch functionality in SNMP for the agent\&. It is supposed to be used from a Network Interface process (Definition of Agent Net if)\&. 

.SH EXPORTS

.RE
.RS
.LP
This function can be called from the net_if process at start-up\&. The options list defines which versions to use\&. 
.LP
It also initializes some SNMP counters\&.

Generates a possibly encrypted request packet to be sent to the network\&. 
.LP
\fIMsgData\fR is the message specific data used in the SNMP message\&. This value is received in a \fIsend_pdu\fR or \fIsend_pdu_req\fR message from the agent\&. In SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c, this message data is the community string\&. In SNMPv3, it is the context information\&. \fITo\fR is a list of the destination addresses and their corresponding security parameters\&. This value is also received from the requests mentioned above\&.

.RE
.RS
.LP
Increments the variable associated with a discarded pdu\&. This function can be used when the net_if process receives a \fIdiscarded_pdu\fR message from the agent\&.
