SNMPD Query

Fri Aug 21 07:51:20 UTC 2009

This is what I am using, however the thing is, it is not resolving my
dynamic dns from within the config.

IE; whatever domain/subdomain name in there, it will simply not resolve
it to an IP address.

That being said, ive checked the interface config and I can confirm that
lookups work from the machine.

I currently have 'risbo.no-ip.org' setup and placed in my config yet it
refuses to resolve.

Thanks for the replies, however this is not the case.

Yes I can look up all OID's of certain devices on localhost, however the
machine that is doing the 'walking' is on my home DSL connection which
has a dynamic address.

To try help solve this ill paste my snmpd config. (Note, certain aspects
will have changed but the overall thing is how it currently is. As you
will notice I have just kept adding  whatever IP i happen to be assigned
from my ISP.

Basically I want to know if there is any way to have
'risbo.domainhere.com' dns lookup up, as it automatically updates with
my public IP at home.

If you are monitoring your own local system, change the IP for your
snmpd.conf to 127.0.0.1 and start monitoring that.
127.0.0.1 is your 'loopback' address.  It means 'listen only to myself'.

If you are monitoring the system from remote, rather than constantly
updating your IP address, you can put in 0.0.0.0 which means 'listen on
all addresses'.
