Dear All, By studying and testing SNMP performance these days, I found that X-agent is not efficient as I expected: SNMP sub-agent mode slows down the total time of getbulk, by change the SNMP agent architecture from master and sub-agent to only one agent, the performance improves dramatically. See below for some test result, with sub-agent, the getbulk time is approximately 3 times than the time without sub-agent.
-------------------------------------------------------- Table No SubAgent with Sub Agent -------------------------------------------------------- 16oid, 18 rows 4s 13s 5 oid, 500 rows 38s 140s 70 oid, 70 rows 35s 152s --------------------------------------------------------- Don’t know if anyone has same puzzle, is there anything wrong here? I paste the config file: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # SNMP master agent configuration file template # defines a list of listening addresses, on which to receive incoming SNMP requests agentaddress 54321 # enable the AgentX functionality and cause the agent to start listening for incoming AgentX registrations master agentx # defines the address the master agent listens at, or the subagent should connect to agentxSocket localhost:705 # defines the timeout period (NUM seconds) for an AgentX request agentXTimeout 5 # define engine ID for version3 engineIDType 1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks, Barclay ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
