Hi,
I have got the following problems on AIX 5.2 with
net-snmp version 5.2 and net-snmp version 5.1.2.

The snmp agent (snmpd) is built with the following
configuration:

./configure --disable-shared --with-mib-
modules=disman/event-mib.

It built the snmpd and all other applications without
any link errors.

Have configured the snmpd.conf to receive traps as
follows:

trapsink localhost public 162

agentSecName internal
rouser internal


#linkUpDownNotifications yes

notificationEvent linkUpTrap linkUp ifIndex
ifAdminStatus ifOperStatus
notificationEvent linkDownTrap linkDown ifIndex
ifAdminStatus ifOperStatus
monitor -r 60 -e linkUpTrap "Generate linkUp"
ifOperStatus != 2
monitor -r 60 -e linkDownTrap "Generate linkDown"
ifOperStatus == 2


The agent is sending the "ColdStart", "Authentication" "shutdown", restart" traps and the snmptrapd is receiving them properly.

However, there is a problem with linkUP/linkDown
traps. The agent is NOT sending these traps. The
agent is updating "ifAdminStatus" to values up
(1)/down(2) whenever the network interface goes
up/down. BUT the "ifOperStatus" is NOT getting
changed to up(1)/down(2). It is always staying as up
(1). Since, linkup/linkDown trap generation is
based on this ifOperStatus field, no linkup/down
traps are generated.

Does anyone had this problem before and had fixed
it ? Does anyone have a clue on why "ifOperStatus"
is not changing ?

I am also getting the following nlist related erros
in the /var/lof/snmpd.log while the agent is started.
*************************************
nlist err: neither tcpstat nor _tcpstat found.
nlist err: neither tcb nor _tcb found.
nlist err: neither icmpstat nor _icmpstat found.
nlist err: neither ipstat nor _ipstat found.
nlist err: neither ipforwarding nor _ipforwarding
found.
nlist err: neither tcpDefaultTTL nor _tcpDefaultTTL
found.
**************************************

I wonder if these log errors have anything to do
with the trap problem stated above.
Also, any clue on how to eliminate them ?

Thank you very much
Vishakh.
