Re: IF-MIB Solaris 9/SPARC

[Anders Persson]

Hi Joe,

I just tested net-snmp 5.4.1 on a sun4u system running Solaris 9 and it 
worked for me (I used --with-mib-modules="if-mib" 
--enable-mfd-rewrites). Could you run the agent with '-D 
access:interface' and email me whatever the output is?

Thanks,
Anders

The thing that spring out is that you are using the new 'if-mib' module rewrite,
rather than the earlier 'mibgroup/interfaces' code.  It's possible
that this newer
module isn't picking up the Solaris interfaces properly.

One option would be to run configure using

--with-mib-modules="agentx ucd_snmp mibII"

or even

--with-mib-modules="agentx ucd_snmp mibII"
--with-out-mib-modules="if-mib"

and see if that works better,


A better option would be to look at the code for the 'if-mib' module, and work
out *why* your interfaces aren't being detected.  If you can provide a fix,
then this could be included in future releases of the software, and
untold multitudes would proclaim your name in thankful adoration.


It's probably also worth trying with the newly release 5.4.1 first, just to
check whether this problem has already been addressed.
