there are two files: snmpd.conf, subagent.conf exist in /var/net-snmp.
snmpd.conf is for master agent, snmpd,
and I used the following line:
init_agent("subagent");
init_snmp("subagent");
...
in my sub agent source, and thus the subagent.conf is genearated.
but in snmpd.conf:
...
engineBoots 1 --------- always 1
oldEngineID 0x8000027d0430303142323131343539304330393031313230323235
...
in subagent.conf
...
engineBoots 7 --------- can change if subagent
restarts
oldEngineID 0x80001f8880f165d261cf478c49 ------ I don't know where
this engineId come from, maybe net-snmp genereate it?
...
why the subagent can increase its engineBoots but snmpd cannot?
is this situation the root cause for the traps missing for the snmp client
after snmpd/subagent restart?
how should I configure my own snmpd.conf or how should I write my subagent to
avoid this problem?
thanks
