[mrtg] Re: snmpget Problem

[Shanmukappa, Jagadish]

I tried deleting and recreating the community and had the option of "accept
snmp packets from any hosts" enabled

When I did a snmp walk localhost newcom host below is the error I get

"host: Unknown Object Identifier (Sub-id not found: mib-2 -> host)"

Not sure what else could be the problem.

SNMP on Win2k is usually pretty reliable, though rather brain-dead at times.
For example, the Processor Util stats change OID on each server reboot in MS
HOST2 (not sure if this is only on mp servers which is where I have seen it
though). 

Anyway, something else to have a look at is deleting and recreating the
community and checking to make sure no 'only accept these ip addresses' is
turned off while testing.
Try, on the Win2k box, 

SNMPUTIL walk <ip> <community> system 

you can call 'system' rather than having to type in the oid. This will make
sure that its nothing to do with the SNMP client that is doing the query on
the linux box. Then try the same, but for the host resources OID. Remember
to do walks, not gets... gets refer to a specific OID and if the OID doesnt
exist point at a counter, then you will get the errors you mention.

cheers
