Hi All,

Thanks to all your suggestions. I was able to configure the SNMP Agent on my
Sidewinder G2. As was pointed by Kavin it was purely access policy issue
which I was able to figure out.

One more thing I have noticed in this exercise that I would like to share
with you. SNMP listens only on the 'first' interface associated with the
specific burb. I had an alias interface on the same burb but it was not able
to answer to 'snmpwalk'.

Thanks & Regards,
