snmpwalk to ipv6 address timeout

Question

Snmpwalk is failing. I don't know why. I have a host configured with a global ipv6 address. Snmpd is listening on ipv6.

netstat -l|grep snmp
udp6       0      0 [::]:snmp               [::]:*
udp6       0      0 [::]:snmp-trap          [::]:*

Snmpwalk, on the same host, is failing.

snmpwalk -v2c -c public udp6:[::1] system
Timeout: No Response from udp6:[::1]

What could the problem be?

snmpd.conf

agentAddress  udp6:161
syslocation  home
syscontact  neil@example.com
rocommunity  public 
disk  / 5000kB

snmpd shows a connection in syslog.

Access control is configured per transport. Try replacing

rocommunity public

with

rocommunity6 public

Exactly the right answer. `rocommunity6` defines the community string for the IPv6 transport. – Michael Hampton Jul 17 '13 at 17:24

Try adding:

com2sec6 local     ::1                  public

to your /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file.
