Hello --
This question delves into specific SNMP info, rather than NetView info. But,
it's directly tied to last week's thread on snmpdx problems and it sounds as
though many of us have run across the problem.
You may recall that we had a problem with SNMPsets of MIB-2 variables not
persisting across restarts of the SNMP agents under SEA 1.0.3 on Sol 7. I
forwarded the information collected from everyone who experienced and did
troubleshooting for this problem to Sun L2 support in Service Order #4377907.
L3 support eventually reproduced the problem and turned it over to the Sun
engineers who have labeled this as an RFE (Request for Enhancement), rather
than a bug. This seems strange.
Does anyone know of a specific fact -- statement in an RFC perhaps -- that
indicates that SNMPsets are supposed to be persistent? L3 is escalating this,
but needs supporting documentation that this is a bug and not an RFE.
Thanks,
elizabeth
