DAMN!!!! Solved my self.... :rolleyes:

In /etc/hosts I had:

127.0.0.1    bitwiz1-oam

Changed to:

192.168.65.149     bitwiz1-oam

(192.168.65.149 is the Local Server IP address)

And then:

# service snmpd start
Starting snmpd:                                            [  OK  ]

I hope, at least, this can be useful to someone! :slight_smile:

Hello Lord Spectre,

Definitely it will be useful for people, could you please add that which configuration file you have made the changes so that a non-unix admin person(eg--> me) could also understand it more clearly. Will be grateful to you.

Thanks,
R. Singh
