querying snmp from remote machine

[sigix]

I have successfully installed snmp and mrtg, working perfect
but when i did
#snmpwalk -v 1 -c mycomm Ip interface

from other network machine it gave me error
"Timeout: No Response from IP"

what to set in snmpd.conf so that i can query snmpd remotely

Sigix,

These are the things I can think of...

Do you have some firewall software running on the remote server or is there a firewall inbetween the two machines that could be blocking SNMP traffic in one direction?

Do you have entries in your /etc/hosts.allow or /etc/hosts.deny files on the target machine that could be blocking the traffic?

Check the community string to make sure it's correct.

Can you ping the target server from the other machine? If not, there could be routing issue.Ping failures could also be due to firewalls, you'll have to check that too.

Hello evreyone,
I have the same problem with sigix. The SNMP installations is ok but the problem is that I dont know what to set in snmpd.config and snmp.config. More specifically I dont know where the directory of mibs is located (in addition to some other things). Is there any detailed guide for that? Can please somebody help me with that? Thank you very much.
