Why does snmpd not report IPv6 interfaces actived after snmpd starts?
Issue
- Why does snmpd not report IPv6 interfaces activated after snmpd starts?
- Disable snmpd and bring eth1 down:
# service snmpd stop Stopping snmpd: [ OK ] # ifdown eth1 - Start snmpd and query it for IPv6 interfaces:
# service snmpd start Starting snmpd: [ OK ] # snmpwalk -c public -v 1 localhost 1.3.6.1.2.1.55.1.5.1.2 IPV6-MIB::ipv6IfDescr.1 = STRING: lo IPV6-MIB::ipv6IfDescr.2 = STRING: eth0 - Bring eth1 back up and query snmpd again:
# ifup eth1 # snmpwalk -c public -v 1 localhost 1.3.6.1.2.1.55.1.5.1.2 IPV6-MIB::ipv6IfDescr.1 = STRING: lo IPV6-MIB::ipv6IfDescr.2 = STRING: eth0 - Note that eth1 is not listed even though it is online!
- Disable snmpd and bring eth1 down:
