RE: SNMPD error (ASAP)

Mike,

1) Please let me know the use of "snmpTrapdAddr.  My understanding on 
snmpTrapdAddr is that, it should always bind to localhost(loop back 
address(127.0.0.1))

2) I am reframing my 2nd  question . Sorry for confusion.

 I am using "snmpget" command( say from abc machine)  to get sysuptime of 
remote machine(say xyz machine sysuptime).  In remote machine (xyz) , i 
ran snmpd command as  /usr/sbin/snmpd -f -Le -d  and i  have observed that 
, the "sysuptime snmpget request from abc machine is displayed on screen" 
but no response from "xyz" machine.  Hence i am getting "Timed Out " 
message/response  for  snmpget command in abc machine

I have verified host file in both machine and i observed  that, the host 
file of  abc machine  has  an entry for xyz machine and similarly for host 
file of  xyz machine   have an entry for abc machine. And  also snmpd.conf 
file in xyz machine have entry " rocommunity  com_name  abc" .


                Please let us know why i am not getting response from xyz 
machine.

                 This should be done via firewall.  There is no host 
filtering mechanism in SNMP, for good reason.

                 By "no response", do you mean the request is timing out?

                 The "xyz" machine doesn't even need the host entry, as it 
will respond to the IP address, which it got as part of the request.

                 That needs to be in snmpd.conf, not snmp.conf.


                 HTH,

Mike
