SNMPAgent adaptor does not respect jboss.bind.address

[rali.genova]

There is a problem with the SNMP Agent in the latest 4.0.x code as well as in 4.0.4CR2. The service does not respect the jboss.bind.address configuration. When I start two instances of the all configuration, the addresses conflict even though the servers are running on two different IPs. It appears that SNMPAgent is bound to *:1161 instead of the value passed to jboss.bind.address. Here are the steps to reproducing the bug:



- checkout latest 4.0.x branch

- build and copy the all configuration into two new configurations, I named them node0 and node1

- start node0 using the -b option and binding it to private IP address, other than localhost

- start node1 again binding it to another IP.
Here is the exception trace seen during startup of node1:

Since I am binding the two instances to different IPs, there shouldn't be any collisions in addresses, so I used netstat to check if those bindings were correct:

java 19054 rgenova 12u IPv4 -1117543693 UDP *:1161

From this line you can see port 1161 is listening on * instead of my private IP which causes the problem above when the second instance starts up. 1161 is configured in deploy/snmp-adaptor.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml

<mbean code="org.jboss.jmx.adaptor.snmp.agent.SnmpAgentService"
 name="jboss.jmx:name=SnmpAgent,service=snmp,type=adaptor">
...
 <attribute name="Port">1161</attribute>
...

This should be fixed for 4.0.4.GA. Sorry, I don't remember the JIRA #; if you search with the "SNMPAgent adaptor does not respect jboss.bind.address" I'll bet you find it.

Rali, I thought you said you tested this with the latest 4.0.x code? Did you do a fresh update from CVS?

[dimitris]

I fixed this in 4.0.4.GA with a new joesnmp relesase.
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-2911

You sure you are using the latest?

[rali.genova]

Yes, you are all right, I saw the JIRA task and the error I was seeing was due to a 4.0.4CR2 instance that I started before the 4.0.x. The 4.0.x instances are actually binding correctly to the IPs. Sorry for the confusion.
