Q:Unable to poll the SNMPAgent?

I’m new to SNMP and have been following the Sun Seebeyond “SNMP Agent User’s Guide” and “Alert Agent User’s Guide” tutorials with the aim of providing SNMP access to 3rd party client software (software currently unknown).

I’ve managed to generate and filter Alerts using Enterprise Manager and receive them as Emails (AlertAgent only) and as SNMP Traps, using “AdventNet SNMP Adaptor 5 MibBrowser” as client software for trap viewing and polling.

So far using MIB files “CAPS51-MIB.txt” and “EGATE50-SNMP-V2-MIB.txt” to generate my Polling requests I have only managed to get the following response:

====================

Sent get request to localhost : 16100

Request Failed: Error: Request Timed Out to 127.0.0.1

====================

Apart from using varying port numbers is there any special configuration options required or additional documentation available? Has anyone got Enterprise Manger/SNMPAgent Polling to work with any other SNMP management client software? Is there some software I should actually be using? Is SNMPAgent polling in SNMP V3 format?

Regards

M
