Problems configuring SNMP to accept connection from other host in the network

[roberts123]

I want to make SNMP Agent accept connections from other hosts in the network.


the IP address the other hosts are as follows


192.168.28.139(Solaris 10) -its a virtual machine
192.168.1.76(Windows 7)- my personal desktop


This is what I done
In file /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf


agentAddress udp:161


rocommunity public localhost
rocommunity public 192.168.1.0/24
rocommunity public 192.168.28.0/24


and in my /etc/default/snmpd


SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -g snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid'


It's works when I do

snmpwalk -v 2c -c public localhost


and


snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 192.168.28.139


But if I use snmpwalk on my my Windows 7 IP address, It gives Timeout:No response from 192.168.1.76


snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 192.168.1.76
Timeout:No response from 192.168.1.76


Please help.

It's really difficult to test when you have a NAT-ted Virtual Machine. Try to use Bridged adapter on the Network settings of your Virtual machine. This way, your local LAN, windows machine, and the the virtual machine will have the same IP block.
