I am not familiar with commercial SNMP agents. The CMU agent runs
under SunOS as does the ISODE agent. The CMU agent is a bit easier to
install (as you do not need ISODE) but it crashes quite often if you
start to read kernel statistics (e.g. tclConnTable) frequently. The
ISODE daemon is more reliable, but perhaps a bit more difficult to
understand and install.

Thats strange. I have no idea what is wrong. However, we recently got
an SGI box so I will check this out once we get the compiler for this
machine. (In most cases it is very annoying to get UNIX machines
without a C compiler but in this case we got so many games that we had
other things to do. :-)
As a work around, you can comment out the calls to discover_snmp in
ip_discover.tcl. If you want to debug this problem, it would be most
helpful to know the IP address which causes the problem. Just add a
few puts into the discover_snmp proc and see where it stops working.
Perhaps the SGI box is doing strange things if it receives ICMP port
unreachable messages?
