Hi, I was using net-snmp 5.1.4 earlier and we have a subagent communicating using agentx with our master agent. Things were working fine.
We are now trying to upgrade to net-snmp 5.4.1 and the master agent and the subagent are not communicating. The subagent seems to register the MIBS fine, I can see this when I turn on logging using -Dagentx. After that the snmpget requests are timing out. I see that the master agent is sending these requests but not getting any response and is eventually timing out and closing the connection. On the subagent's end, the 'agent_check_and_process(1)' call does not come out indicating that it did not receive any packets ? 1. I am building net-snmp 5.4.1 with openssl10.9.7m and ipv6 enabled. 2. Running SNMPv3 and snmpd.conf has master agentx agentXTimeout 10 agentXRetries 6 agentXSocket tcp:127.0.0.1:705 (we are using tcp sockets and not unix stream sockets). 3. snmpd is run as follows $MY_SNMP_PATH/snmpd -x tcp:127.0.0.1:705 udp:8500 -c /MY_SNMP_PATH/snmpd.conf ie. master is listening on 8500 and to subagent (agentX) on 705 4.Subagent code does - netsnmp_ds_set_boolean(NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID,NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_ROLE, 1); - netsnmp_ds_set_string(NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID,NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_X_SOCKE T,"tcp:127.0.0.1:705"); prior to init_agent and init_snmp Is it really necessary to have a configuration file with the name given in init_agent() ? We have not had that so far and things worked fine ? An snmpwalk on .1.3.6.1.2.1 snmpd responds no problems. Snmpwalk for my subagent OID results in packets piling on the 705 connection and it eventually closes with log trace - Timeout: No Response from localhost:8500 netstat traces udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8500 0.0.0.0:* ... tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:705 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:705 127.0.0.1:41817 ESTABLISHED tcp 3168 0 127.0.0.1:41817 127.0.0.1:705 ESTABLISHED ... tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:705 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 4513 0 127.0.0.1:41817 127.0.0.1:705 CLOSE_WAIT tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:705 127.0.0.1:41817 FIN_WAIT2 This has been working fine with NetSNMP-5.1.4 . Appreciate any inputs as to what I'm missing !!! Is there anything new in 5.4.1 not present in 5.1.4 ?
