Réf. : [NV-L] Re: Changing community on manager station

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. However ovsnmp.conf had the wright community
for the manager station.

I found the solution: I only changed /etc/snmp/conf/snmpd.conf to change
the communities. But apaprently you have to change also the files
snmpdx.acl and mgragentd.acl in the same directory, bacause those files
mention also the default communities of public and private.

After that, I couldn't have Netview to rediscover the manager station
correctly: tried to do a demand poll, and to delete and rediscover
the station: no way. So I did a clear of  the databases, and after
that the manager station was finally discovered properly and appeared
in the ManagerSubmap!
