Re : verify connection to master agent

I also try to add 

agentPingInterval 15

in my snmpd.conf

I started my master as  snmpd -r -f -Le -Dagent

And in the snmpd.log: Warning: Unknown token: agentPingInterval

It seems that this option is not supported. Why? I am using net-snmp5.2.

My problem is the subagent's reconnection to the master. When I start the master before the subagent, I can browse my own mib without a problem via a graphical tool. But then, if I disable the master and restart it again, my subagent is not able to reconnect properly:

AgentX master agent failed to respond to ping.  Attempting to re-register. 

Another question: where do I have to put the config file for my subagent (mySubagent.conf) ?? In the same directory where lies snmpd.conf?? Do I absolutely need one???

<!-- DIV {margin:0px} --><!-- DIV {margin:0px} --Hi,

thanks for your reply. I looked at the snmpd.conf man page. 
As a result I added 
netsnmp_ds_set_int(NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID,
                NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_AGENTX_PING_INTERVAL,10);

in the initialization of my subagent. 

then I tried to stop my master (snmpd) and start it again. Then my subagent is not able to register again. I got the following error:

Error: Failed to connect to the agentx master agent:  Unknown host (No such file or directory)

AgentX master agent failed to respond to ping.  Attempting to re-register.

Any ideas??

Please see the snmpd.conf(5) man page - in particular
the 'agentPingInterval' directive.

Have a look at how  this directive is implemented - in particular,
follow the code through from 'agentx_reopen_session()' (in the file
mibgroup/agentx/subagent.c)
