That's a good question...

Once I have received an inforation, that this is by design, SNMP engine 
is like a heart of a system and all around is build using concept of how 
SNMP is supposed to serve the system.
And, that changing this would require rewritting most of the code..
Or I misunderstood...

Whatever, even if, once I have proposed to RESEVE a range of IDs for 
static assignment, than, on particular static circuit (only static) one 
would put a statement like "static snmp id 5001" that would make same 
after whatever reload/reboot/upgrade happens..

No response for that...
But - if SNMP responsible person in /// reads this, maybe can say 
something more if someone is thinking about any changes in this subject..


Other nasty issue is that you can not read SNMP ID of particular circuit 
via any know command (at least I can't). The only method is snmpwalk + grep.
