Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I did as u told but still its forwarding the requests to subagent multiple timings. But this time the request id is the same. Previously it was different. But I want the request to be sent only one time. For this wat else I need to do. Please do help me in this regard.
Thanks,


Message Hi,

The default value of no of agentxRetries (from SNMPD to Subagent for Agentx requests) is 5.
You can configure this by specifying the token agentxRetries in snmpd.conf file as below.

agentxRetries 0
# This means 0 retries.

And the default value of no of retries of any snmp request (snmpget, snmpset, snmpgetnext, etc from snmp manager to SNMPD) is also 5. You can specify any other value for retries using -r option in snmp request. Example is given below.

snmpgetnext -v2c -c public -r 0 localhost 1


Regards,
Suresh.

Subject: How to control agent sending SNMP request multiple times


Hi,
I am running an MasterAgent and a Subagent. When I send a snmpget request the master is sending the same to subagent through agentx about 50 times before timeout. Is there any way by which i can control the master to forward the snmp request to subagent only for 4 to 5 times and not more than that. Since this creating a problem in our system.
