NetXMS Support Forum

Hello,

i'm trying to setup a netxms agent as a snmp proxy. the scenario is:
- gui on host A
- server on host B
- netxms agent on host C
- snmpd on host C

i'd like to use the netxms agent on host C as a snmp proxy to localhost (to itself - host C). this is because of the firewall.
the snmp agent status in the console remains "inactive", but i can snmpwalk to localhost on host C. i can't figure out why.
i've set up:
- snmpd on host c with config, that grants RO access to everyone (if i try the snmp agent without the proxy it works)
- snmp proxy host as that host C in properties of host C
- EnableSNMPProxy = yes in snmpd.conf in host c agent's config
- the community is ok as it works without proxy

i realised that there exist an older topic (https://www.netxms.org/forum/index.php/topic,26.0.html) on a simlar subject but that does not help me much.

any help would be appreciated.

tnx.

Hi,

i'm quite new to netxms so sorry if the question is stupid but i'm trying to set it up now for 2 days.
the problem is the following:
i setup netxms server and one agent (for testing). the agent works as a netxms agent and all the data collection works fine. another thing i'd like to setup is snmp agent. how do i do that?
in the overview tab of the object browser of the node it lists SNMP agent as inactive. the same is when i click properties->capabilities (set to false). how do i activate snmp agent?

i hope i explained the problem.

tnx
