## Symptoms

- * When users run the snmpwalk shell extension in the CLI of a Quantum appliance, the Object Identifier (OID) times out:

  ```
   
  [Expert@LAB:0]# snmpwalk -v2c  -c LAB localhost 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.0.0.1 
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.1.0 = INTEGER: 1
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.2.1.2.4.116.101.115.116 = STRING: "/bin/bash" 
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.2.1.3.4.116.101.115.116 = STRING: "/home/admin/snmp/test.sh"
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.2.1.4.4.116.101.115.116 = ""
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.2.1.5.4.116.101.115.116 = INTEGER: 5
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.2.1.6.4.116.101.115.116 = INTEGER: 1
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.2.1.7.4.116.101.115.116 = INTEGER: 1
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.2.1.20.4.116.101.115.116 = INTEGER: 4
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.2.1.21.4.116.101.115.116 = INTEGER: 1
  
  Timeout: No Response from 10.20.10.42
  
   
  ```

* Increasing the timeout causes empty results to return:

  ```
  
  [Expert@LAB:0]# snmpwalk -v2c  -c LAB localhost  1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.0.0.1 -t 60 
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.1.0 = INTEGER: 1 
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.2.1.2.4.116.101.115.116 = STRING: "/bin/bash"
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.2.1.3.4.116.101.115.116 = STRING: "/home/admin/snmp/test.sh"
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.2.1.4.4.116.101.115.116 = ""
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.2.1.5.4.116.101.115.116 = INTEGER: 5
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.2.1.6.4.116.101.115.116 = INTEGER: 1
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.2.1.7.4.116.101.115.116 = INTEGER: 1
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.2.1.20.4.116.101.115.116 = INTEGER: 4
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.2.1.21.4.116.101.115.116 = INTEGER: 1
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.3.1.1.4.116.101.115.116 = ""
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.3.1.2.4.116.101.115.116 = ""
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.3.1.3.4.116.101.115.116 = INTEGER: 1
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.3.1.4.4.116.101.115.116 = INTEGER: 1
  
  SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.0.0.1.4.1.2.4.116.101.115.116.1 = ""
  
  ```

* When users run the script directly in the Bash shell, the script works as expected.

## Cause

The script triggered by the *snmpwalk* shell extension contains the *snmpwalk*command within it. The SNMP socket is stuck because it cannot finish the second SNMP query.
