Hi Michael, How about DDNS (Dynamic DNS) service.....<a href="http://www.no-ip.com">http://www.no-ip.com</a> Thanks <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Aug 21, 2009 at 3:25 PM, Michael RISBY <<a href="mailto:michael.risby@ap.equinix.com">michael.risby@ap.equinix.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">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 '<a href="http://risbo.domainhere.com" target="_blank">risbo.domainhere.com</a>' dns lookup up, as it automatically updates with my public IP at home. interface eth0 agentaddress ###.###.###.###:161 # <a href="http://sec.name" target="_blank">sec.name</a> source community com2sec readonly 127.0.0.1 public com2sec readonly <a href="http://risbo.domainhere.com" target="_blank">risbo.domainhere.com</a> public com2sec readonly 203.33.163.104 public com2sec readonly 203.33.161.196 public com2sec readonly 220.253.176.185 public com2sec readonly 220.253.65.105 public com2sec readonly 220.253.183.56 public com2sec readonly 220.253.178.34 public com2sec readonly 203.33.164.73 public com2sec readonly 220.253.181.245 public com2sec readonly 203.33.166.200 public com2sec readonly 220.253.72.245 public # sec.model <a href="http://sec.name" target="_blank">sec.name</a> group MyROSystem v1 paranoid group MyROSystem v2c paranoid group MyROSystem usm paranoid group MyROGroup v1 readonly group MyROGroup v2c readonly group MyROGroup usm readonly group MyRWGroup 1 readwrite group MyRWGroup v2c readwrite group MyRWGroup usm readwrite # incl/excl subtree mask view all included .1 80 view system included .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system # context sec.model sec.level match read write notif access MyROSystem "" any noauth exact system none none access MyROGroup "" any noauth exact all none none access MyRWGroup "" any noauth exact all all none # ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- <div><div></div><div class="h5"> -----Original Message----- From: Aaron C. de Bruyn [mailto:<a href="mailto:ubuntu-server@darkpixel.com">ubuntu-server@darkpixel.com</a>] Sent: Thursday, 20 August 2009 1:10 AM To: Michael RISBY Cc: <a href="mailto:ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Subject: Re: SNMPD Query On 2009-08-19 at 22:58:16 +1000, Michael RISBY wrote: > Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2009 22:58:16 +1000 > From: Michael RISBY <<a href="mailto:michael.risby@ap.equinix.com">michael.risby@ap.equinix.com</a>> > To: <a href="mailto:ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com</a> > Subject: SNMPD Query > > My problem is that I am constantly adding my changed dynamic IP to the > snmpd.conf.

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'. -A -- ubuntu-server mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server</a> More info: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam</a> </div></div></blockquote></div> -- i'm Soon Siang, Shio a Linux Toy Player [please ping me at:] <a href="mailto:ahsiangsiang@gmail.com">ahsiangsiang@gmail.com</a> [also at:] +6012-488-3692 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Promoting: WiKID Two-factor authentication, without the hassle factor DSPAM - Just go ahead send me viagra Ubuntu JeOS "Juicy" - Just Enough Operating System Postfix - a Wietse Venema's mailer and *please AVOID sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments. <a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html">http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html</a> Before printing, please consider the environment.
