[clue] (Slightly OT) - This SNMP issue has me baffled

[foo7775 at comcast.net]

Hey Mike, thanks for the reply. Yes, each of the three interfaces has an IP address. 

And to answer your other questions: 

When you say that you're connecting to B & C, how are you doing it? -- I've used netcat because it's quick & easy (& I'm familiar with the command syntax), but it occurred to me last night that netcat only creates the most-basic type of connection, it's useful for checking to see if a port is accessible, but *not* to confirm that the response is in the correct format. 

Do you have any other machines that are bonded like this and are being successfully monitored by the server? -- Yes 

How's the monitoring service trying to connect? -- It's using the standard SNMP queries (get & get-next are the ones that I saw in the packets). 

Have you tried an snmpwalk against the monitored server, either locally or remotely?-- Yes, the monitoring admin has run the snmpwalk from his server - but your suggestion to run it locally is a very good one, I will be trying that first thing this morning. 

Thanks again, 

T.

Are you saying that the machine has 3 IP addresses? I don't use Solaris, but on RHEL and Ubuntu, the IP is assigned to the bond, like here and here . When you say that you're connecting to B & C, how are you doing it? Do you have any other machines that are bonded like this and are being successfully monitored by the server? 

How's the monitoring service trying to connect? Have you tried an snmpwalk against the monitored server, either locally or remotely? That should help troubleshoot the SNMP replies, but I'm still confused about the connections to individual interfaces.
