That feels like access control again.
Can you retrieve *anything* from the master agent?

Yes - that's correct.
I wasn't intending that you drop "public" from the snmpget
request - just from the AgentX registration.

Pretty much standard.

Ah - that's a difference from our setup then.
You *can* configure the Net-SNMP master agent to handle
non-default contexts, but it needs a bit more fiddling.

The bottom line is that SNMPv3/AgentX contexts and
SNMPv1/2c communities are distinct ideas, and it's
not safe to assume a mapping from one to the other.


Let's make sure we're clear about what you should be trying.

  - the J.agentX subagent should register with a
    context (/community) of ""
  - the Net-SNMP master agent should have a config
    including     "rocommunity public"
  - the snmpget/snmpwalk/etc commands should specify
      -v 1 -c public

With this setup:

  a)  Can you see anything in the system group?
  b)  Can you see anything in the tcpConnTable?
  c)  Can you see anything from your J.agentX subagent?
