No, there is no retry functionality in the master agent. On the other hand there is a retry functionality in snmpget, so if snmpget get no answer before a timeout it will retry a couple of times. Check the -r and -t option to snmpget and toy about with those in combination with the -d option so that you can see the packages that are sent and received. /MF ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-coders mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-coders
