SNMP work with values in table but not with normal values

[Micael Karlberg]

Hi,

You have most likely configured the agent and/or manager
incorrectly. Increase verbosity of the agent:

	snmpa:verbosity(master_agent, trace).
	snmpa:verbosity(net_if, trace).

And run the get request again.

This will produce _a lot of_ printouts, that hopefully will
make it clear why the agent reports noSuchName.
