SNMP is designed within the IP framework, which presumes that SNMP runs on
UDP, which in turn runs on IP. IP can run on many things, including X.25.
Therefore, the stock answer is that you should use SNMP/UDP/IP/X.25. This
solves both of your problems.

The one issue is that you have to assign an IP address to Packet Switch C.
