## Symptoms

- * VSX Gateway does not answer remote SNMP queries.

* Output of "*netstat -nap \| grep 161*" command on VSX Gateway shows that SNMP Agent (SNMPD daemon) listens only on Loopback interface IP 127.0.0.1 (output should have shown the VSX management interface).

  *Example* :

  ```
  
  [Expert@VSX:0]# netstat -nap | grep 161
  udp        0      0 127.0.0.1:161         0.0.0.0:*         22672/snmpd
  udp        0      0 127.0.0.1:161         0.0.0.0:*         22590/snmpd_1
  udp        0      0 127.0.0.1:161         0.0.0.0:*         22592/snmpd_2
  ```

* Local SNMP queries issued on the VSX Gateway (e.g., *snmpwalk*) are answered only when they are directed to loopback interface.

## Cause

SNMP was configured with interfaces that do not belong to the context of VSX Gateway itself (VS0).
