If you are using a default Net-SNMP configuration, it will only allow anonymous access to the system variables. If the local hosts shows no Interfaces or Routes in the OS section, this is usually what's going on. The simplest thing to do for Net-SNMP, if your security policies permit, is to create a one-line snmpd.conf file that simply contains one single line with "rocommunity public" (or whatever string you choose).
Zendisc can't do *anything* without knowing a route out of the local system.
