Re: Clarification on Launching snmpd with arguments.

Two comments on that:

  -  firstly, the "-x" option should come *before* the list of SNMP ports
  -  secondly, port 161 is the standard port for SNMP requests,
          *not* for AgentX traffic.

A better invocation would be

    snmpd -c snmpd.conf -x tcp:localhost:705   udp:161,udp6:161

(and adjust your subagents to connect to port 705 - the standard AgentX port)

Try the invocation above.

List them on the command line, *after* all other options.

Either should work, in exactly the same way.
If you run the agent with the  flag "-Dsnmpd/main",  you
should see the list of ports that the agent will be listening on.
It's actually held as a comma-separated list, but if you list
them using spaces, the agent will build the same list anyway.
