If you are trying to get snmpd working on a VE (for whatever reason, note you should strongly consider if you can accomplish what you are trying to do on the host) you will need to do a couple things.

Do this if you are seeing an error like this one:

error scanning interface data (expected 10, got 0)

First you need to run net-snmp 5.4.1 or later and second you will need to start it with the following option:

-I -ipAddressTable

So

/sbin/snmpd -I -ipAddressTable

From what I understand they are in the process of patching things on net-snmp to work with openvz a little better, but because of the duplicate IPs on the VEs (127.0.0.1) things aren't exactly standard.
