Whee! This is fun!
Please reference the original question by someone named Geetha. Sure, madtoperl could be "Geetha", but why would madtoperl change the name of the script, and the IP address (but only slightly) when posting in a different forum?
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 Soc
+ket6 & IO::Socket::INET6 packages . I installed them, but problem is
+still persisting
As regarding system configuration , it is a linux OS ,localhost is ena
+bled 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 t
+his problem from past 3 days, but ...
Thanks,
Geetha

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>

-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
