Why does snmpd log "error on subcontainer 'ia_addr' insert (-1)" messages to the terminal?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

The following message appears several times on the system's console every 20-30 seconds:

error on subcontainer 'ia_addr' insert (-1)

If snmpd is restarted from a different terminal such as a SSH session, the above messages appear in that terminal with the same frequency.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
  • net-snmp version 5.5-37.el6_2.1 or earlier.
  • One or more 'proxy' lines in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf .
