snmp daemon doesn't work fine under linux

[Carles Viaplana]

Hello,

We're trying to configure an snmp daemon in a linux system (habana) but when we try to get data we get the following error.

canberra:/usr/local/nagios/libexec # ./check_snmp_storage.pl -H habana -C public -m / -r -w 85 -c 98
ERROR: Description/Type table : No response from remote host 'habana'.
canberra:/usr/local/nagios/libexec #

Here you're /etc/snmpd.conf file:

HABANA:/etc # more snmpd.conf

syscontact Sysadmin (root@localhost)

HABANA:/etc #

Is there anything wrong?
Should I open any port on habana in order to allow snmp packets?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Please check /etc/hosts.allow file to make sure you have enabled snmp access from 193.146.12.150.

/etc/hosts.allow
....
snmpd: 193.146.12.150

Hello,

I modified hosts.allow file as you told in your message but I still get same error.

Any idea?

Thanks for your help.

There may be an error in your perl script?

Maybe you can start with a simple snmpget?
Like snmpget -v1 -c public habana system.sysDescr.0 (or syslocation.0)

Try it on habana (with habana and localhost), and on canberra

Canberra's IP address is 193.146.12.150, I assume?

Hello,

I tried command you suggested but I get timeout error:

HABANA:/etc # snmpget -v1 -c public habana system.sysDescr.0
Timeout: No Response from habana.
HABANA:/etc #

Any idea?

Thanks in advance for your help.
