Hi Jenny,
There is a pretty easy way around this, which is to exclude the
ipAddressTable. To do that, you'd modify your snmpd command to include
-I -ipAddresssTable
Unfortunately, this causes a crash in another table. :-/
The way around that is to build without that table. In your spec file, look
for where MIBS is defined and delete ip-mib/ipv4InterfaceTable and
ip-mib/ipv6InterfaceTable.
When I rebuild like that, the -I option above eliminated the delay with
enumerating ipaddresses. You can verify this by running the agent like so:
snmpd -f -Daccess:ipaddress:container -Lo -I -ipAddressTable udp:1161
without the -I option, you'll see tons of "access:ipaddress:container" debug
messages. With it, you shouldn't see any. Tested on CentOS 6.5 with the srpm
for the version you mention above.
