CPU usage rate reaches 100% due to an snmpd process.
Issue
- On a system configuring the following 3 proxies in "/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf", if snmpwalk is run to .1.3.6.1.4.1.211.1, it timeouts. Consequently, CPU usage rate reaches 100% due to the snmpd process.
--------------------------------
proxy -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.211.1.1.1.3.3.2.2.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.231.2.49.1.3.4.0
proxy -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.211.1.1.1.4.1.1.0 .1.3.6.1.4.1.231.2.10.2.1.14.0
proxy -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.211.1.1.1.4.3.1.0 .1.3.6.1.4.1.231.2.10.2.1.18.1.11.11
--------------------------------
- snmpwalk is run as follows.
# snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.211.1
Timeout: No Response from localhost
- CPU usage rate reaches 100% as follows.

- The behavior of snmp proxy seems to be improper and why snmpwalk timeouts and how to avoid that?
