Sorry, but this is not enough information to help you to resolve the
problem. Are you sure there is a SNMP agent running, is the community
set right, ... ?

Looks like a resolver problem. Did you run the ip discover script or
was the map handcrafted? You can set the ip address attribute of this
node by hand and try again.

Check the community string etc.
