I suspect that it is the use of SNMPv3 that is the issue here.

Before the app can send an SNMPv3 request, it needs to know the engineID
of the remote agent.   It does this by querying the agent to discover its ID
(either as part of opening the session, or sending the query)

   That query is done synchronously, so will hang if the agent is not
responding.


If the switch is configured to work with SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c, then consider
using this instead.   Those versions don't require the engineID, so won't do
this preliminary query.
