Todd is suggesting that you try to narrow down the differences. We can
only guess the details from what you have posted so far.
Do you specify the community name with snmpwalk or use what's in
xnmsnmpconf as the GUI version of demand poll does?
Does it time out with the command line "nmdemandpoll <nodename>" or just
from the GUI?
If nmdemandpoll works from the command line, but demand poll fails from
the GUI, then I suspect that your firewall is doing it.

Subject: Re: [nv-l] Difference between Demand Poll and Object
Information
Hi Todd,
this is the thing:
- the snmpwalk works good
- the demand poll snmp-request times out
The firewall and router people say (haven't sworn yet) their
configurations
are fine.

Does snmpwalk done from the command line work? If not, there is an
snmp communication problem with the device--either a route
unavailable, snmp traffic being blocked by the firewall, or a wrong
community name.
