Hi,

I am configuring nagios for snmp monitoring and I havent go further after getting a timeout error from the monitoring console from Nagios.
As far as I can see everything is well configured. But this is my first nagios implementation and I am not sure as I am learning on the way.
I am making snmpgets from the command line which are succesfull but Nagios system gets a timeout. Any idea what is the problem. Any tip hardly appreciated.

details from behavior and configuration below.

Thanks!
