Elizabeth,
I don't know if this answer is too late to be of use to you, but I have not
seen any other answers.
I happened to be reading the drafts of the SNMP Distributed Management MIBs
and I noticed they say the following:
"Although like most MIBs this one has no explicit controls for the
persistence of the values set in configuring (...) , a robust, polite
implementation would certainly not force its managing applications to
reconfigure it whenever it resets."
So tell them that the draft standards say their implementation is not
polite (or robust).

But, it's directly tied to last week's thread on snmpdx problems and it
sounds as though many of us have run across the problem.

forwarded the information collected from everyone who experienced and did
troubleshooting for this problem to Sun L2 support in Service Order
#4377907. L3 support eventually reproduced the problem and turned it over
to the Sun engineers who have labeled this as an RFE (Request for
Enhancement), rather than a bug. This seems strange.
