Hello, I built the sample agent (SNMP4J-agent 1.4.3) and ran it with the sample agent config properties file. I can v1-walk the SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB (using community "public"). This is great, but how do I use a community other than "public" via properties-file configuration item?
What I've done so far: here's what I get when I v1-walk the community MIB: SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpCommunityName.'public' = STRING: "public" SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpCommunitySecurityName.'public' = STRING: public SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpCommunityContextEngineID.'public' = Hex-STRING: 80 00 13 70 01 0A 01 01 03 SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpCommunityContextName.'public' = STRING: SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpCommunityTransportTag.'public' = STRING: SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpCommunityStorageType.'public' = INTEGER: permanent(4) SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpCommunityStatus.'public' = INTEGER: active(1) If I replace all instances of "public" in the sample agent config file from "public" to "foo" and then re-run the agent, then I can still use "public" to read objects, which I find puzzling (I figure I should not be able to use "public" after I made that replacement). When I v1-walk the community MIB after I do that (again using "public" community), I get this: SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpCommunityName.'foo' = STRING: "foo" SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpCommunityName.'public' = STRING: "public" SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpCommunitySecurityName.'foo' = STRING: foo SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB::snmpCommunitySecurityName.'public' = STRING: public ... etc. So it looks like "public" is still being used in the agent, that I haven't disabled "public" correctly, that "foo" is now in place, and that at least I know that changes to the properties file produce some effect. How do I not use "public" and use "foo" instead, via a properties-file configuration item? It looks like I'm on the right track considering my walk results, but that there's more to it than a search/replace of "public" in the sample agent config properties file. I haven't been able to figure out what more there is to it. I've searched the list in case this question has been asked before. I've seen similar questions asked in the list, but the answers were not exactly what I seek. E.g., here are some similar threads I found in the list with which I could not reach a solution: http://lists.agentpp.org/pipermail/snmp4j/2010-October/004341.html : couldn't find a response to this post http://lists.agentpp.org/pipermail/snmp4j/2009-January/003324.html : couldn't find a response to this post http://lists.agentpp.org/pipermail/snmp4j/2006-April/001251.html : Frank posted a response discussing the SnmpCommunityMIB class, but I'm looking for a way to do this in a config file (not programmatically and not via SNMP-SETs, methods which have been answers in the list already). http://lists.agentpp.org/pipermail/snmp4j/2008-May/002925.html : I don't understand the response. http://lists.agentpp.org/pipermail/snmp4j/2011-April/004517.html : "edit SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB": implies there's a way to do it, but not discussed or referenced. I noticed there's a wiki mentioned in the list; I found a page in the wiki FAQ titled "How do I change communities?" but the page is blank. Scanning the code for uses of hard-coded "public" community turns up in code files used only in test scenarios, from what I can tell. It seems like there's a way to do this (to configure (not via code) the agent to not use "public") and I'm just not looking in the right place; can anyone point me to the correct resource?
