All
my unix admin is having a problem getting net-snmp to work with orion....he sent me this very basic conf file and said i should be able to connect to it. he loaded a product called Up.Time and using their agent he was able to get this working....but orion can't connect to the snmp on the server. i know more than what he has configured needs done but i'm not sure what to tell him. net-snmp version is 5.7.2 ...any help would be greatly appreciated.
this is what he sent me:
