snmpd with IPv6

Hello.

We are using snmpd for the IPv4 and now we add the IPv6 support.
I've configured and compiled the release net-snmp-5.7.1 with the following flags:

./configure --with-default-snmp-version=2 --with-logfile=$HOME/temp/snmp/snmpd.log --with-sys-location= --with-sys-contact= --with-persistent-directory=$HOME/snmp --with-mibs=RFC1213-MIB --with-mibdirs= --disable-scripts --with-out-mib-modules=examples/ucdDemoPublic,mibII/system_mib --without-kmem-usage --disable-mibs --disable-mib-loading --disable-manuals --without-perl-modules --enable-shared --host=mips64-angstrom-linux --with-cc=mips64-angstrom-linux-gcc --target=mips64-angstrom-linux --disable-embedded-perl --with-ar=mips64-angstrom-linux-ar --with-mib-modules="ucd-snmp/dlmod" --enable-ipv6 --with-transports="UDP UDPIPv6"

But when I try to run the snmd in the simplest way:

snmpd -V -Lo udp6:[2003::100:18]:161

the address is available:

asil8xx:/usr/bin # ifconfig
eth3      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:A0:0A:17:3B:C4
          inet addr:192.168.14.30  Bcast:192.168.15.255  Mask:255.255.248.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::2a0:aff:fe17:3bc4/64 Scope:Link
          inet6 addr: 2003::100:18/64 Scope:Global



I receive:

Error opening specified endpoint "udp6:[2003::100:18]:161"
Server Exiting with code 1

If I try to run snmpd w/o address:

asil8xx:/usr/bin # snmpd -V -q -Lo udp6:161

Warning: no access control information configured.
  (Config search path: /usr/local/etc/snmp:/usr/local/share/snmp:/usr/local/lib/snmp:/root/.snmp)
  It's unlikely this agent can serve any useful purpose in this state.
  Run "snmpconf -g basic_setup" to help you configure the snmpd.conf file for this agent.

getaddrinfo: udp6 Temporary failure in name resolution
Error opening specified endpoint "udp6:161"
Server Exiting with code 1
asil8xx:/usr/bin #

My concern and my question is - what may be the problem with the IPv6 "specified endpoint" ?

When I provide the IPv4 address to the same strings - it runs.

Thank you,
Sincerely,
Michael.
