FW: Unable to read IP-MIBs

I have /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf provided by default by the system. I got it when I installed net-snmp utilities. You probabily know how it looks like. 

I get what you are suggesting. But in that case I had to generate my own snmpd.conf with snmpconf utility and use it to replace the default one provided by the system /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
I understand but I wanted to actually keep the default /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf because it has much more information and options inside, so my intention was to make it work just by editing default /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf that I got with installation.

And luckily after bumping my head against the wall whole day yesterday, I managed to figure out what I had to change in /etc/snmp/snmp.conf to allow IP-MIB's to be readable. I just needed to add an extra line in the 'view' section... Here it is if anyone else runs into a similar problem:

--------------------------------------------- excerpt from /etc/snmp/snmp.conf
####
# First, map the community name "public" into a "security name"

#       sec.name  source          community
com2sec notConfigUser  default       public

####
# Second, map the security name into a group name:

#       groupName      securityModel securityName
group   notConfigGroup v1           notConfigUser
group   notConfigGroup v2c           notConfigUser

####
# Third, create a view for us to let the group have rights to:

# Make at least  snmpwalk -v 1 localhost -c public system fast again.
#       name           incl/excl     subtree         mask(optional)
view    systemview    included   .1.3.6.1.2.1.1
view    systemview    included   .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1

#------------------ this was the line I had to add to allow IP-MIB's
view    systemview    included   .1.3.6.1.2.1.4

####
# Finally, grant the group read-only access to the systemview view.

#       group          context sec.model sec.level prefix read   write  notif
access  notConfigGroup ""      any       noauth    exact  systemview none none


And it solved it :))

Thanks a lot guys,
Dzenan

Given that you've said nothing about what your snmpd.conf file looks like,
it's a bit difficult to know what needs changing.

The simplest approach would be to replace the snmpd.conf file with one
containing the single line

     rocommunity public

and restart the agent.

See the FAQ, and snmpd.conf(5) man page for more information about
configuring access control.
