Net-SNMP for teaching purposes

Hi,

My name is Kostas and I'm a PhD researcher in University of Surrey. We would like to introduce Net-SNMP in one of our post-graduate labs where students have some hands on with SNMP.

In the past we used to work with AdentNet SNMP API in Java. However we want to give the opportunity to students to work with C/C++ so after some search, Net-SNMP was selected because of its good documentation and tutorials.

I managed to run the tutorial provided and get the sysDescr.0 OID from the default peer.
However, when I change the remote-host (peername) to the name/IP of the hosts we used before it did not work. I am getting this error:

$ ./snmpdemoapp
No log handling enabled - using stderr logging
snmpdemoapp: Unknown user name

I have used both the IP and the name of the host. Is there any configuration/deamon we have to install on the remote hosts in order for the applications to be able to run?


In addition, do you have any set of lab assignments or anything that could be useful for teaching purposes?

Best Regards,
Kostas
