I shiver whenever I have to work with the Sun SNMP agent again! There
are so many bits you have to configure, none of which is well
documented. I wrote a Tivoli Field Guide a couple of years back on this
topic - you can get it at
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/entdocview.wss?uid=swg27002148
One of the things that can happen is that someone changes some community
name customisation and you end up with access to the base snmpdx agent
but, on Solaris, it is the mibiisa agent that answers all MIB-2 queries.
Cheers,

Has anyone experienced any problems using Sun's snmp daemon and
Netview? Especially with community names?
We have several Sun servers that we have been monitoring fine till few
days back. These servers do not respond to snmpwalk or any snmp
queries anymore. SNMP times out. Possible cause could be incorrect
community name, but I have checked and all looks correct on both
sides. I am able nmdemandpoll, TCP/SNMP connectivity etc. just fine,
except SNMP requests time out.
I have done xnmsnmpconf -resolve and result is correct. Forcing
community name with snmpwalk -c still results in time out due to bad
community.
"Bad Community name" alerts are also being logged in Sun's syslog files.
I have seen this before as well, and always with Sun servers. Any
ideas? Thanks.
