I apologize for my ignorance of community support list usage. I am an old IBMer and not familiar with the proper open source community behavior. Also, I notice as I read the postings on the list that my posting is the only one that does not have a Topic heading. Please let me know how I can establish a Topic for my posting. Thank you for your help and patience. Here is the information you requested. OS: Linux 2.6.9-34.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Feb 24 16:54:53 EST 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux NET-SNMP build from Red Hat Network: net-snmp-devel-5.1.2-13.el4_7.2 net-snmp-libs-5.1.2-13.el4_7.2 net-snmp-utils-5.1.2-13.el4_7.2 net-snmp-5.1.2-13.el4_7.2 I did not explicitly set the engineID. I had read in the Net-SNMP docs that it was recommended to let net-snmp generate it. Thank you. _____________________________ Eric Cardoza -----Original Message----- From: Mike Ayers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 14, 2008 2:46 PM To: Cardoza, Eric D.; [email protected] Subject: RE: Unknown engine ID > From: Cardoza, Eric D.

Can you please submit details for the installation: - what OS are you running on? - where did the build come from? - Are you explicitly setting the engineId in snmpd.conf? That's a start...
