Hi all,
 
I am having the problem in as described in FAQ "Requests always seem to timeout, and don't give me anything back."
 
In the question it is stated there that "
     If the agent is not configured to allow access for a particular community,
     then no error response will be returned.  The Net-SNMP tools will retry
     the request a number of times, before reporting a timeout error.

    If the agent is configured to allow partial access for a given
    community, then requests that fall outside this authorised access
    *will* result in an error response.
    (SNMP agents can be very fussy over who they talk to!)"

Command used from SNMP manager: snmpwalk -c public -v 2c agentIp .1.3
It timeout and no response.
 
I have verified that my agent was receiving the request but indicated incorrect access control and trying to send out the SNMP_TRAP_AUTHFAIL, but could not.
 
So how can I configure the agent to allow access for a particular community WITHOUT using snmpd.conf or snmp.conf like? Because the agent is cross-compiled and running as a thread in an embedded device.
 
Thanks very much!
Shufen
