Dave, thanks. Which app should I try for testing this? snmpget and snmpwalk seem to need a hostname, or am I doing something wrong?
Since I am new to the SNMP world, answers to these questions will enlighten my world: How can I monitor values of DHCP-enabled agents that are connecting and disconnecting frequently? How did you do guys do it before this broadcasting option was available (and even now while it is not much tested)? Via DHCP assigned IP addresses' list from DHCP server?
