RE: SNMP Agent engineboot

Hi Dave

Thanks for your response!
I am using net-snmp provided agent. But I didn't aware that snmp agent has this functionalty, and from my test result. It's not working.

I didn't read the snmpv3_store thoroughly, is the old engineboots saved in the config file?

Thanks,
Barclay

But that's exactly what the Net-SNMP library should be taking care of for you.You shouldn't need to do this yourself - it's already handled by the
shutdown code. (see snmplib/snmpv3.c:snmpv3_store())

If this isn't happening, then there's probably something wrong with
your agent code(or else the agent isn't being shut down cleanly)

I really would suggest that you strongly consider using the Net-SNMP provided agent framework, which is known to work correctly.   Re-implementing your ownagent from scratch seems an unnecessary duplication of effort
