Hi all,

I had set up a proxy agent with net-snmp 5.4.1 on linux,and I have a
switch with snmpv3 agent.

I can run "snmpwalk -v 3 -u testuser -A 12345678 -l authNoPriv
10.10.32.4 system"
and have return values so that I'm sure the snmpv3 configuration on
switch is okay.

I want the queries via proxy agent, and I added follow lines in
snmpd.conf

proxy -Cn ctx_remotehost2 -v 3 -u testuser -a MD5 -A "12345678" -l
authNoPriv 10.10.32.4 .1.3

but it seems that I still have to add in snmpd.conf

com2sec -Cn ctx_remotehost2 proxied default cmty_2 (the "proxied"
sec.name access right has no problem)

so that I can make below query statement to query the vales.
"snmpwalk -v 2c -c cmty_2 localhost system"

Is this means that I can't use a securityName in snmpd.conf and work
with the disman internal query?
(i.e I can use monitor directives in snmpd.conf to monitor the
switch's MIB objects since I had setup a proxy agent.)

I fact, what I want to do is use disman MIB to monitor remote target's
MIB objects.

Since the net-snmp had implement the disman event MIB with internal
query,
I was wondering that how if I setup a proxy agent, and could disman
could monitor the proxy agent's MIB objects?

As far as I know, if the proxy agent can only queried via v1/v2c
community,and the disman implement is based on internal query with
securityName, then my thoughts should not work, right?
 (i.e I can use monitor directives in snmpd.conf to monitor the
switch's MIB objects since I had setup a proxy agent.)

Thanks in advance for anyone who can give me some reply.
