Net::SNMP session creating problem
Posted by geetha... on 9/7/2004 11:34:00 AM
Hi ,

I'm using NET::SNMP perl package to send do SNMP operations.
This requires establishing snmp session.
upon calling create session , I'm getting error "ERROR: Unknown error creating socket."

The code which gives the above error is given below.
***************************************************************

# /usr//bin/perl

# snmp.pl  to test snmp functions

 use strict;
 use vars qw($session $error $response);

 use Net::SNMP;

 ($session, $error) = Net::SNMP->session(
    -hostname  => shift || 'localhost',
    -community => shift || 'public',
    -port      => shift || 161
 );

 if (!defined($session)) {
    printf("ERROR: %s.\n", $error);
    exit 1;
 }
*************************************END ******************************************

I execute the program as :
perl snmp.pl 192.168.20.158 public
output of the program:
ERROR: Unknown error creating socket.
************************************************************************************

As part of debugging this, I read that NET::SNMP  package requires Socket6 & IO::Socket::INET6 packages . I installed them, but problem is still persisting
As regarding system configuration , it is a linux OS ,localhost is enabled through httpd server.
On the command prompt "snmpwalk -v2c -c public localhost system" gives the output of snmpwalk

Can someone help with this session creating problem. I 'm  debugging this problem from past 3 days, but ...

Thanks,
Geetha
