Hey all,
I've been tasked to enable snmp on our DU4.0D boxes (2 of which were
upgraded from DU4.0a, and two from DU3.2g; each also has been patched with
a patchfile named 'duv40das00003-19990228.tar') so that a contractor can
complete an audit of all hosts on the MAN. No biggie I think. A quick
check of 'ps -ef | grep snmp' shows it's already running. Great I say, and
report that the systems were already enabled as such. It later turns out
that two of the boxes (the two which were upgraded from DU3.2g) are not
working properly.
We obtained an old copy of DEC Manageworks (v1.1) with which to do some
testing. We can actually see those two boxes, but the error reported by
Manageworks when we try to view them is 'SNMP Agent responding with
repeated data. Possibly a bad implementation of SNMP agent.' Further, one
of the DU4.0a - >DU4.0d upgrade boxes appears as a router within the
software. ??
All four are configured identically, which is to say, each have had zero
changes performed on the "as installed" config - it looked sufficient for
read access.
Some messages from the box which thinks it's a router:
root:/> /sbin/init.d/snmpd stop
root:/> more /var/adm/syslog.dated/15-Jul-16:39/daemon.log

I've searched for the .c files referenced in the error message, but did not
locate any of them on any of our systems. The startup scripts, filesizes,
dates and other typical attributes of the snmp components are also
identical between the four systems.
Any thoughts?
Cheers!
Jon
