I tried that but it gives me the same error. Then I tried
with
./snmpd -f -Lo -x udp:127.0.0.1:161
/tmp/snmp.skt
Then there is no error and it displays the message
NET-SNMP 5.4
But there is no SNMP agent listening after I checked it with
netstat -ultnp
The following is the output as displayed by netstat
-ultnp
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address
State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:53 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN 16670/named
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:953 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN 16670/named
tcp 0 0 ::1:53 :::*
LISTEN 16670/named
tcp 0 0 ::1:953 :::*
LISTEN 16670/named
udp 0 0 127.0.0.1:161 0.0.0.0:*
14434/snmpd
As you can see from the last line , snmpd is not in listening mode.
Please somebody help me in starting the agent so that it responds to the
snmp commands.
With Thanks and Regards
