[solved] about net-snmp installion

[Gavin]

When I install net-snmp on windowsXP , I find I have to choose one between "standard agent" and "with windows extension dll support".

In order to use cacti normally, I wonder which one I should choose?

This is covered in the installation guide. Please read it.

"With Windows Extension DLL support."

Yes, I have read the instruction in the installation guide which suggests using "with windows extension dll support".

Could I know what is the difference between the two choices?

In fact ,I choosed "standard agent" when I installed net-snmp. Up to now,my cacti has been working well.

So I want to know what potential issue will occur with "standard agent" on Windows OS.

You can only have one SNMP agent installed at a time; either Microsoft's or Net-SNMP. Windows has more hooks into the OS which returns data than net-snmp. if you're happy with net-snmp, then continue to use it.

Thank you!

I wil choose another snmp agent when I reinstall cacti.
