Hi Dave,

Okay, I re-compiled with IPv6 enabled for the remote machine. Now it
appears sometimes query with IPv6 address worked, but other times it
returned "No Response". Ping6 always succeeded though. 

$ /bin/ping6 fe80::200:50ff:fe3d:7aac -I eth1
PING fe80::200:50ff:fe3d:7aac(fe80::200:50ff:fe3d:7aac) from
fe80::204:23ff:fec8:9578 eth1: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from fe80::200:50ff:fe3d:7aac: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.87 ms
64 bytes from fe80::200:50ff:fe3d:7aac: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.162 ms

$ snmpwalk udp6:'[fe80::200:50ff:fe3d:7aac]':161 sysUpTime
SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 = Timeticks: (46605) 0:07:46.05

$ snmpwalk udp6:'[fe80::200:50ff:fe3d:7aac]':161 sysUpTime
Timeout: No Response from udp6:[fe80::200:50ff:fe3d:7aac]:161

What would cause this IPv6 query instability?
Thanks for your support.
Emi

Wrong (I think).
If you don't build the Net-SNMP library with IPv6 support enabled, then
snmpwalk won't be able to use IPv6 addresses.

Try re-compiling the tools to enable IPv6 and see if you get the same
problem.
