Also I'm getting the following error in the net-snmpd.log...

error on subcontainer 'ia_addr' insert (-1)

Hello,

is the SNMP service running on the system at all? Because when we shut down a SNMP service on an Ubuntu - machine we received the same result:

# /etc/init.d/snmpd stop
 * Stopping network management services:
# snmpwalk localhost -c public -v1
Timeout: No Response from localhost

whereas with a running service, the service was correctly listening on port 161:

# /etc/init.d/snmpd start
# netstat -apn|grep snmpd
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:161            0.0.0.0:*                          21018/snmpd

and also responding with 3424 lines of SNMP counters to the # snmpwalk localhost -c public -v1. Please understand that this we cannot try debugging the issue any deeper in your systems, however, maybe other users experienced something similar.

Best Regards.

seems to be up and running when I type in:

# servcie snmpd status
checking for service snmpd              running

# netstat -apn |grep snmpd
tcp     0     0 127.0.0.1:199            0.0.0.0:*     15364/snmpd
upd    0     0 10.99.108.250:161     0.0.0.0:*     15364/snmpd

#snmpwalk localhost -c public -v1
Timeout: No Response from localhost

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Hello,

as SNMP is traditionally UPD, can you please try to do a snmpwalk on 10.99.108.250?

Best regards.

when I do a snmpwalk 10.99.108.250 I get the following...

"snmpwalk: No securityName specified."

Hello,

at first it would be interesting what version of snmpwalk (or what version of the snmp-package on your system) you are using. You could check this by using the following command which is linux distribution independend:

# snmpwalk -V
NET-SNMP version: 5.4.1

"snmpwalk: No securityName specified."

This message seems to appear with older versions of SNMPd-installations. Therefor you would have to adjust the command as follows:

# snmpwalk 10.99.108.250 -c public -v1

If this doesn't succeed try the following command by switching to the SNMP-protocol version 2c:

# snmpwalk 10.99.108.250 -c public -v2c

Best regards.

Hi thanks for the reply, here is what i get for each command...

1. snmpwalk -v NET-SNMP version: 5.4.2.1

1. snmpwalk 10.99.108.250 -c public -v1 Timeout: No Response from 10.99.108.250

1. snmpwalk 10.99.108.250 -c public -v2c Timeout: No Response from 10.99.108.250

no sure why this happening. would be grateful for any help.

Hello,

I would recommend checking the routing table for the proper entry for the appropriate destination and network device (see "man route"). You could achieve this by using the "route -n" command. If the routing table is right I would afterwards check whether UDP packets are filtered by a possible running firewall blocking those packets by using the "iptables -L" command. As an alternative to check if UDP packets are filtered by a firewall you also could use "nmap -sU -p 161 10.99.108.250" (see "man nmap").

Hi the routing table seems to be correct. In snmpd.conf 10.99.108.0 is being used.

# route -n

There does not seem to be blocking from a firewall.

Haven't heard anything from my postings. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
