Snmpd not starting

General
1

from this config file:

sysLocation    Sitting on the Dock of the Bay
sysContact     Me <me@example.org>

# agentAddress udp:0.0.0.0:161
rocommunity public default -V all

view    all     included        .1      80

snmpd -f -c /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

works…

but adding

agentAddress udp:0.0.0.0:161

causes it to crash and not start…

Seems to be cachyos only for some reason…

Open to suggestions…

snmpwalk -v2c -c public 192.168.88.200 | less

Try allowing the 161 port

sudo ufw allow 161

It won’t start :slight_smile:

ufw rule already in…

Did you restart your system or reload ufw? Also check sudo ufw status to make sure its also allowed in UDP and not only TCP.
