snmpd.conf - FELIPE FERREIRA

i have reinstalled my net-snmp-5.4.2.1 on ubuntu-8.04 hardy( and its
only ipv6 host, address assigned to it is 2001:468::3/64 on eth0
interface and eth1 im using for dhcp-internet connection). Sir, i have
new problem, my snmpd is start now and i am also getting its pid and
port no.(as 161) but im not getting the result of snmpwalk (both for
localhost and remotehost). i run the following commands–
#snmpwalk -v2c -c public localhost system ; on local host
output-timeout no response from localhost
#snmpwalk -v2c -c public 192.168.122.3 system ; on remotehost(
remotehost is having ip 192.168.1.2 and its ipv4 only machine. im
doing the project ipv4 to ipv6 migration and vice versa. im using 3
pc’s here ist is ipv6 pc(add-2001:468::3/64) , 2nd pc is ipv4 only
(add-192.168.1.2) and 3rd one is nat-pt box which maps the ipv4
address corresponds to the ipv6 here in the case it maps 192.168.122.3
to the 2001:468::3/64. add. of nat-pt is 192.168.1.1)
output-timeout no response from 192.168.122.3
im attaching my /etc/default/snmpd , /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and
/usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf( snmpd.conf file is same for
/etc/snmp and /usr/local/share/snmp directories). please tel me what
changes should i do in my default and snmpd.conf files so that my
snmpwalk starts working. Please help me soon.
Thanks Alot

#
# PATH: mount path to the disk in question.
# MIN: Disks with space below this value will have the Mib’s errorFlag set.
# Can be a raw byte value or a percentage followed by the %

It’s unlikely this agent can serve any useful purpose in this state.

Hi,
I can do
snmpwalk -v 2c -c localhost
Works as expected
but with snmpv3 on localhost
snmpwalk -v 3 -u -l authNoPriv -a md5 -A localhost
Gives error : Timeout : no response from localhost
and with snmpv3 on remote
snmpwalk -v 3 -u -l authNoPriv -a md5 -A 192.168.x.X
Works as expected
Please let me know if am i missing any configuration here
Details:
snmpd running ” /usr/bin/snmpd -f -c /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf”
~ $ netstat -natu | grep 161
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:161 0.0.0.0:*
