SNMP Configuration problem - able to snmp outbound, unable to snmp inbound.


I have a virtual lab setup. All elements using 192.168.0.0/16 (Actually 192.168.110.0/24, 192.168.47.0/24, 192.168.159.0/24, 192.168.44.0/24). One router, two Linux servers. One Ubuntu 14.04, one Centos 7.

I am trying to setup snmp.

I am able to snmpwalk the router from both servers.
I am able to snmpwalk the Centos server from the Ubuntu server.
I am NOT able to snmpwalk the Ubuntu server from the Centos server.
I am able to ping and ssh from the Centos server to the Ubuntu server and vice versa.

If Ive read and understand correctly, snmpd is the config info for the daemon or "server" side of snmp setup.
And snmp.conf is the config info for the "agent" side of the snmp setup.

If I got it right, then I have a problem somewhere with snmpd.
I am also unable to use this syntax. ....Specifically the ending keyword.

snmpwalk -v2c -c public 192.168.159.3 uptime
snmpwak -v2c -c public 192.168.159.3 system

I would appreciate any help. Ive been working on this for a couple of days and can see whats going on. I also have been unable to find any doc that explains step by step how to (basically) setup snmp, net-snmp etc etc.

# SECTION: Monitor Various Aspects of the Running Host
#
# The following check up on various aspects of a host.

# proc: Check for processes that should be running.
# proc NAME [MAX=0] [MIN=0]
#
# NAME: the name of the process to check for. It must match
# exactly (ie, http will not find httpd processes).
# MAX: the maximum number allowed to be running. Defaults to 0.
# MIN: the minimum number to be running. Defaults to 0.
#
# The results are reported in the prTable section of the UCD-SNMP-MIB tree
# Special Case: When the min and max numbers are both 0, it assumes
# you want a max of infinity and a min of 1.

proc mountd
proc ntalkd 4
proc sendmail 10 1

# disk: Check for disk space usage of a partition.
# The agent can check the amount of available disk space, and make
# sure it is above a set limit.
#
# disk PATH [MIN=100000]
#
# PATH: mount path to the disk in question.
# MIN: Disks with space below this value will have the Mib's errorFlag set.
# Can be a raw integer value (units of kB) or a percentage followed by the %
# symbol. Default value = 100000.
#
# The results are reported in the dskTable section of the UCD-SNMP-MIB tree

# load: Check for unreasonable load average values.
# Watch the load average levels on the machine.
#
# load [1MAX=12.0] [5MAX=12.0] [15MAX=12.0]
#
# 1MAX: If the 1 minute load average is above this limit at query
# time, the errorFlag will be set.
# 5MAX: Similar, but for 5 min average.
# 15MAX: Similar, but for 15 min average.

# The results are reported in the laTable section of the UCD-SNMP-MIB tree

# SECTION: System Information Setup
#
# This section defines some of the information reported in
# the "system" mib group in the mibII tree.

# syslocation: The [typically physical] location of the system.
# Note that setting this value here means that when trying to
# perform an snmp SET operation to the sysLocation.0 variable will make
# the agent return the "notWritable" error code. IE, including
# this token in the snmpd.conf file will disable write access to
# the variable.
# arguments: location_string

#sysLocation Sitting on the Dock of the Bay
syslocation "Ubuntu VM"

# syscontact: The contact information for the administrator
# Note that setting this value here means that when trying to
# perform an snmp SET operation to the sysContact.0 variable will make
# the agent return the "notWritable" error code. IE, including
# this token in the snmpd.conf file will disable write access to
# the variable.
# arguments: contact_string

#sysContact Me <me@example.org>

# sysservices: The proper value for the sysServices object.
# arguments: sysservices_number

# SECTION: Agent Operating Mode
#
# This section defines how the agent will operate when it
# is running.

# master: Should the agent operate as a master agent or not.
# Currently, the only supported master agent type for this token
# is "agentx".
#
# arguments: (on|yes|agentx|all|off|no)

master agentx

# agentaddress: The IP address and port number that the agent will listen on.
# By default the agent listens to any and all traffic from any
# interface on the default SNMP port (161). This allows you to
# specify which address, interface, transport type and port(s) that you
# want the agent to listen on. Multiple definitions of this token
# are concatenated together (using ':'s).
# arguments: [transport:]port[@interface/address],...

#agentAddress udp:127.0.0.1:161
agentAddress udp:161






################################################## #########################
# SECTION: Access Control Setup
#
# This section defines who is allowed to talk to your running
# snmp agent.

# rouser authOnlyUser

Check all your boxes to see if you've any iptables / firewall rules in place for the relevant ports.
