RE: Timeout: No Response from localhost.

Silly me!
For the snmpd.conf file I generated it's not:

rocommunity public .1.3.6.1.2.1.1

but rather:

rocommunity whatever

And the snmpget -c command works fine.

But when I use the snmpd.conf file my coworkder generated (in original
email) using community 'whatever' also, I get the timeout.

Dave, I have spent most of the day alternating these two conf file and
starting and restarting snmpd and the results are the same - the snmpget
times out using my coworkers snmpd.conf but works fine using mine. But
for the one I generated ( using 'rocommunity whatever' also), it works
fine.

In each case I am starting the agent on Solaris 9 using the following
startup script:

================================================== ======================
===============

stty erase

PATH=$PATH:/opt/emc/dist/local/usr/bin
PATH=$PATH:/opt/emc/dist/local/usr/sbin
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
export PATH
MIBDIRS=/opt/emc/dist/local/usr/share/snmp/mibs
export MIBDIRS
snmpd&
echo "Simple Test"
/opt/emc/dist/local/usr/bin/snmpget -v 1 -c whatever localhost
SNMPv2-MIB::sysUp
Time.0
mount lsca2055:/opt/SUNWspro /opt/SUNWspro
PATH=$PATH:/opt/SUNWspro/bin
export PATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/emc/dist/local/usr/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

================================================== ======================
================

FYI, the results of this startup are as follows:

# . ./startup
1513
Simple Test
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (176) 0:00:01.76
Now mounting
nfs mount: mount: /opt/SUNWspro: Device busy

Using which community? "public" or "private"?

Because I wouldn't expect the entry
rocommunity public .1.3.6.1.2.1.1
to work (since it's missing the network source field, which
should come before the OID)

Hmmm....
That output looks OK at first sight.

Do you see the packet dump output when you make the query?


Can you confirm that the two "snmpget" requests are
effectively identical (run from the same host, with exactly
the same parameters, apart from the community string)?
i.e.
/opt/emc/dist/local/usr/bin/snmpget -v 1 -c private
localhost SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0
(with the working config)
and
/opt/emc/dist/local/usr/bin/snmpget -v 1 -c whatever
localhost SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0
(with the broken config)


How are you starting the two agents?
What's the exact command you use in each case?

Dave
