I have executed the steps for configuring an interface for multiple IP addresses.
Result of ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:11:10:D2:A7

I restarted the network and started the agent with the IP Address
"snmpd -f -Le 192.162.9.2"
The agent got started. Now in another shell I executed, "snmpd -f -Le 192.162.9.3"
But the message displayed was,
Error opening specified endpoint 192.168.9.1:161
Server exiting with error code 1.
So the virtual IP's are there.. But the access is made to the real IP address 192.168.9.1 and the port 161.
Pls let me know how to proceed further

Could anyone pls tell me how to configure virtual IP Address and start the agent using that IP Address.. Is there any related web links which can guide me to accomplish this?
Thanks

Sure this'll work with virtual IP addresses also. But you need to be
careful with persistent storage, as has been discussed before on this
list. See http://www.freesnmp.com/net-snmp/faqs/#persistmulti for a
suggested config.
