I think the idea to allow aliases, but still being able to get the IP
address from the node is a good one. However, I would also like to
keep the behaviour where you could overwrite the IP address in the
alias. I think we can have both by using the following statement in
SnmpOpen:
if {[catch {snmp session -address $ip -alias $alias} s] == 0} {
return $s
}
Note, that I changed the order of the options. I think this looks like
a reasonable change that should not break anything. I will put it into
my 2.1.9 code base.
