Net SNMP snmpwalk :no response from localhost

[mounica]

I have downloaded net-snmp 5.4.2.1 from net-snmp.org and compiled it in fedora. snmptranslate command works but

snmpwalk -v 2c -c public localhost system

gives timeout: no response from localhost

I placed snmpd.conf file in /usr/local/etc/snmp

Is this the problem with conf file or soomething else... I have used the same conf file in ubuntu nd there snmpwalk works

Is the service running?

try /etc/init.d/snmpd status (or something similar)

[mounica]

ls /etc/init.d doesnot list snmpd in it

1. place snmpd.conf in directory- /usr/local/share/snmp/
2.Then you run /usr/local/sbin/snmpd
This will surely work!!

i have put snmpd.conf file in /usr/local/share/snmp and restarted the system
but snmpwalk gives timeout

Check how you are running snmpconf
1. run snmpconf
Now choose access control setup
give community name and system ip
After that give finished, finished and quit.
Now you overwrite snmpd.conf in /usr/local/share/snmp/
Restart snmpd service.Now check for output.
