[AGENT++] agentX++ and IPv6 problems

[Claus Klein]

Hi

with IPv6 enabled, if have problems to compile agentX++ on windows.
For this, I found the issues in code and corrected them. But today, I  
can only crosscompile on my MacBook.

So I tested the MAC-OS version with IPv6 enabled.

SNMP with udp6:localhost:161 works fine.

claus-kleins-macbook-pro:AgentPro clausklein$ snmpwalk -u testUser -n  
'subagent' 'udp6:localhost:161' system
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (2253) 0:00:22.53
claus-kleins-macbook-pro:AgentPro clausklein$ snmpwalk -u testUser -n  
'' 'udp6:localhost:161' system
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: AgentX++ v1.4.17 example agent
SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: AGENTPP-GLOBAL-REG::agentpp
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (4490) 0:00:44.90
SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0 = STRING:
SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING:
SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 = STRING:
SNMPv2-MIB::sysServices.0 = INTEGER: 10
SNMPv2-MIB::sysORLastChange.0 = Timeticks: (1018) 0:00:10.18
SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.1 = OID: AGENTPP-GLOBAL-REG::agentppCaps.1.1
SNMPv2-MIB::sysORDescr.1 = STRING: AGENT++ agent built-in capabilities
SNMPv2-MIB::sysORUpTime.1 = Timeticks: (1018) 0:00:10.18

But the AgentX TCP connection does not work!

Only when I disable all IPv6 code at agentx.cpp, it works fine with  
localhost.

What me wondered at agentx.cpp is that the master code does not  
support IPv6, but the slave?

Too I found, that the master  listen on all interfaces, not only on  
localhost address?
In my opinion, that should be a parameter.

Has someone tested IPv6 with agentX++?

With best regards,

Claus
