Hi,
 
We are using Net-snmp-5.2.2 in Agentx mode. 
 
We started snmpd using the command, 
/usr/sbin/snmpd -x 705 -I -interfaces
Subagent is connected to snmpd and registered the MIBs successfully. One
of the OIDs registered is interfaces "1.3.6.1.2.1.2"
 
Now we killed the snmpd and subagent has detected that the connection
with snmpd is down. We have restarted snmpd, subagent  has detected that
snmpd is up, established Agentx session and registered the mibs. But the
log message "registering pdu failed: 263!" appeared twice. 
 
The packets dump at subagent shows that for interfaces oid
1.3.6.1.2.1.2, register pdu is sent thrice. Registration was successful
for the first PDU. For the other two PDUs, snmpd has sent the error code
263 indicating the duplicate registration. The following packet dump
shows this. 
 
Please let us know the reason for duplicate registration of interfaces
oid.
 
Regards,
Suresh.
