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.
