Title: Message
Hi,
 
We are using Net-snmp-5.1.1.
We have configured the agent to listen on an IP address (10.232.92.171) and port 161 by specifying the following line in snmpd.conf
 
agentaddress  udp:10.232.92.171:161
 
We want to re-configure the agent to listen on localhost instead of the initially given IP Address 10.232.92.171. We modified snmpd.conf to make agent listen on localhost and sent SIGHUP to the agent. But the agent doesn't respond to requests sent with IPAddress as "localhost" from the same machine and it continues to listen on 10.232.92.171.
 
WIll SIGHUP not reconfigure the agent to listen on new IPAddress mentioned..?
We observed that if community name is changed in snmpd.conf file and SIGHUP is sent to agent, then agent is reconfigured with the new community name successfully and responds to the requests having the new community name.
 
Please let me know how can we re-configure the agent to listen on another IPAddress without restarting it.
 
Thanks in advance,
Suresh.
