Hello, Thank you so much for your explanation. But please let me ask you again. When I made snmp query from windows XP work station which runs net-snmp agent to obtain some information on news manager, it was successful. That's why I felt ambiguous. If you dont mind, could you please explain me why it happened? But when I made snmp query from news manager to get information on windows XP workstation which runs net-snmp agent, request timed out. So accessing from agent to manager woks and manager to agent doesnt work. That's why I thought that my configuration are not correct. regards, galaxy On 18/01/07, Galaxy Virus wrote: > (1) can snmp agent make snmp query to get some information on snmp manager ? No. SNMP works the other way round. The SNMP manager application sends the query *to* the agent, which responds with the requested information. > (2) can snmp agent make snmp query to get some information on other snmp > agent ? In principle, yes. The DisMan Event MIB is designed to support such "remote monitoring". In practise, I'm not sure whether this has been implemented yet - it certainly won't have received much testing. You can have subagent running on remote boxes, so that one master agent can provide information from several different systems. But that's not quite the same thing.
