Have you tried to use localhost instead of the IP address?

Alright then you might not have the right rights.

You then need to change the hosts.allow file to allow access to the snmp deamon

Issue the following commands at console:

[root@e-smith ]# mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/hosts.allow
[root@e-smith ]# echo "snmpd: 127.0.0.1, 192.168.xxx.0/255.255.255.0" > /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/hosts.allow/snmpd
[root@e-smith ]# /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/hosts.allow

You can replace the "127.0.0.1, 192.168.xxx.0/255.255.255.0" with "ALL" if you allow SNMP requests from the anywhere.

[root@e-smith ]# service snmpd restart
