[Devmon] No sysDescr available

[Asif I. <va...@gm...>]

How do I monitor a server, FreeBSD 7.0, which does not give sysDescr.0 ?


# snmpget -v1 -c public dns-server-01:163 sysDescr.0
Error in packet
Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
Failed object: SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0

#snmpget -v2c -c ruPV91gs atl-dns1-01:163 sysDescr.0
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID


However snmpwalk version 1 and 2c gives tons of good output.. both
version gives same output

# snmpwalk -v1 -c public dns-server-01:163 .1.3.6.1.4.1
