My setup: net-snmp-5.2.2 built by hand for SuSE 9.1 (although the problem occurs on an embedded platform too, so it does not seem to be a platform issue). I am pretty sure that this problem occurs on prior versions, too - although I haven't rigorously proven it - so I don't think it is a 5.2.2 only issue.
I have a subagent that registers a 1,000 or so mib variables with the master. The following sequence causes a problem: snmpd (master agent) starts a remote client is running that polls a few of the subagent's variables once per second. the subagent then starts and registers its variables with the master. The problem is: - when only the master is up and not the subagent I correctly get 'nosuchname' errors. - as soon as the subagent begins to register, I get one "good" response - where it answers the get correctly. - this is followed immediately by a 'timeout' for the next get. - finally, all subsequent gets produce a 'nosuchname' error in spite of the fact that both the master and subagent are up and otherwise functioning normally. stopping and restarting the subagent - and NOT polling while starting the subagent fixes the problem - however, since I can't control when remote clients poll for variables, I don't really consider this an OK workaround. I did not see this in the mailing list archives or in the bug DB. I am going to attempt to debug this - but I figured I would post my findings to the list in case anyone had seen this before or had any ideas/workarounds.
