getting Pong not received

[cfoos]

When I try using this I get an error, is there a different way it needs to be done with newer versions of snmp?

[root@localhost snmp]# snmpd -f -Lo -Ducd-snmp/pass

It's unlikely that anything changed from the NetSNMP side. You can try to run ethtool-stats.pl by hand. Then write PING and you should get PONG. Does it work?
