Hello, Can someone explain why I don't get a timeout when I use the community string "public" even if I don't have it defined in my snmpd.conf file. It doesn't return data but it also doesn't timeout. See example below. ... rocommunity nobody 127.0.0.1 ... [root at L703108 pgsql]# snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 127.0.0.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1 ifMIB [root at L703108 pgsql]# snmpwalk -v 1 -c xyz 127.0.0.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1 ifMIB Timeout: No Response from 127.0.0.1 [root at L703108 pgsql]# snmpwalk -v 1 -c nobody 127.0.0.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1 ifMIB IF-MIB::ifIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1 IF-MIB::ifIndex.2 = INTEGER: 2 IF-MIB::ifIndex.3 = INTEGER: 3 IF-MIB::ifIndex.4 = INTEGER: 4 IF-MIB::ifIndex.5 = INTEGER: 5 IF-MIB::ifIndex.6 = INTEGER: 6 ... -- Stephen Clark *NetWolves* Sr. Software Engineer III Phone: 813-579-3200 Fax: 813-882-0209 Email: steve.clark at netwolves.com http://www.netwolves.com
