Issue/Introduction
The snmpd Service failed to start with snmpd.conf errors.
It returns errors like:
Stopping snmpd: [FAILED]
Starting snmpd: [FAILED]
Error: example config COMMUNITY not properly configured
Error: bad security model "any" should be: v1, v2c, usm or a registered security plugin name - installing anyway
Error: bad prefix match parameter "0", should be: exact or prefix - installing anyway
Address family for hostname not supported
Error opening specified endpoint "127.0.0.1"
Server Exiting with code 1
Environment
Component: APIGTW
Cause
Please check if the nc_ncsnmpd Service is running on your installation by using the chkconfig command from a privileged Shell.
In the case the Service is 'on' it might block the snmpd Service.
Resolution
In the case no Hardware Crypto Key Card (SafeNet Luna HSM) is used on the Gateway, you may disable the two related Services:
chkconfig nc_ncsnmpd off
chkconfig nc_raserv off
Thereafter restart the snmpd server:
service snmpd restart
