openSUSE 11.1 x64 and Net-SNMP stale value from MIB

English Network/Internet
#1

Hello,

I have openSUSE11.1 running net-snmp 5.4.2.1

Immediately after device has come up after reboot, I modified mtu for one of my interfaces from 1500 to 8174, I see that the value is changed successfully (verified via output of ifconfig)

However, when I fetch it through SNMP, it is showing 1500.

When I restart snmpd, the table now shows the correct number of 8174.

Please anybody can tell me what is wrong or have you encountered this before and have a resolution?

Thanks so much everyone!

Hi
Aside from the fact that 11.1 is discontinued, how are you configuring
the mtu change? You need to ensure the interface change has occurred
before snmp starts, just check the init scripts. You could always
rcsnmpd in the boot.x scripts to run after all is up and running.

Thanks Malcolm for your reply.

I used ip link set <dev> mtu <> to set the mtu size

I made sure that the network is UP and running before setting the mtu

Even after 30 min after the reboot, it still is not showing the changes that I made to the mtu

Thanks

Hi
I would use YaST Network Devices to configure the mtu, then it should
start with the setting, then snmpd will start after the network is up.
