But the NEWS file states "limited support for UDPv4 broadcast addresses" So try running "snmpget" with a broadcast address as the destination "host". Note that I've never tried this, but it seems worth a whirl. I'd also suggest that you start by working with "snmpget" since that works with a single request. I wouldn't move onto the more complex "snmpwalk" until you're happy that a broadcast snmpget works. > How can I monitor values of DHCP-enabled agents that are connecting and > disconnecting frequently?

You're asking the wrong person. Firstly. the systems we have here use fixed IP addresses (allocated via DHCP, but fixed nonetheless). So I personally don't need to worry about managing "unknown" systems. Secondly, when do think I ever find the time to actually *use* SNMP anyway? I seem to spend every waking moment either answering questions on the lists, or (occasionally) working on the code! OK - that's something of an exaggeration (honest, Boss!), but there's a kernel of truth in it. I really don't have the time to make as much use of SNMP in real-life situations as I'd like. Maybe someone else on the list may have more useful experience.
