Hi Monks!!
I'm using NET::SNMP perl package to send to SNMP operations.
This requires establishing snmp session.
upon calling create session , I'm getting error "ERROR: Unknown error creating socket."
The code which gives the above error is given below.
***************************************************************
#/bin/perl

# samplescript.pl  to test snmp functions

 use Net::SNMP;

 use strict;
 use warnings;
 use vars qw($sess $err $response);

 
 ($sess, $err) = Net::SNMP->session(
    -hostname  => shift || 'localhost',
    -community => shift || 'public',
    -port      => shift || 178
 );

 if (!defined($sess)) {
    printf("ERROR: %s\n", $err);
    exit 1;
 }

*************************************END ******************************************
I execute the program as :
perl samplescript.pl 192.168.10.162 public

output of the program:
ERROR: Unknown error creating socket.
************************************************************************************ As part of debugging this, I read that NET::SNMP package requires Socket6 & IO::Socket::INET6 packages . I installed them, but problem is still persisting
As regarding system configuration , it is a linux OS ,localhost is enabled through httpd server.
On the command prompt "snmpwalk -v2c -c public localhost system" gives the output of snmpwalk
Can someone help with this session creating problem. I 'm struggling in this problem
