What about snmpwalk -c COMMUNITY localhost. That should return something. If that works, try snmpget -c localhost interfaces.ifNumber.0 Let us know Leonard Automatically inserted lawyer blurb follows >>> rpaiz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 10/15/03 01:34 AM >>> At 11:09 10/14/2003, you wrote: >Rodolfo, > >My MRTG Config file: ((Edited for my comm strings -- MYCOMMSTRING is >substituted)) ><snip> Thanks a lot, Brett. Using your config as a template I have been able to get snmpd to stop reporting errors. Now it stops and starts quietly, and "netstat -leanp" shows snmpd listening on 0.0.0.0:161 as it should. However, issuing the test command "snmpget -v 1 localhost COMMUNITY interfaces.ifNumber.0" results in an error of "Timeout: No Response from localhost." I have also created a simple mrtg.cfg file based on your template which I _think_ is correct. However, like the test snmpget command running mrtg reports that no response was received. Although I didn't think that could be the problem, I have ruled out firewall issues by temporarily clearing all rules and setting policies to ACCEPT. But in testing again, same result. Of course port 161 is not accessible from outside the box (only via the lo interface), and port scans confirm that.
