Remember the first rule of good firewalls... What is not explicity allowed
is DENIED. Which means:

snmp-server host inside 172.31.13.254
snmp-server host inside 172.31.13.113


You need to tell the PIX *exactly* which IP's are allowed to pull SNMP
info... in ADDITION to needing to know the community. It's not the Cisco
SECURE PIX firewall for nothing!  =-)

 I have the very same problem. I'm pretty sure that I have set up the
 PIX correctly, according the manual.

 snmpwalk gives me "End of MIB" as only output.
