I'm assuming that your SNMP string really __isn't__ 'public' If not, and it has any strange characters in it, the snmpwalk command's -c switch will need those 'escaped'
Like so: If your SNMP string was 'vet$rwt' then to use snmpwalk you'd have to do snmpwalk -v 2c -c vet\$rwt hostname OID Another possibility of a failed snmpwalk is using the wrong version- try 'snmpwalk -v 1 -c <commstr> <hostname> <OID>' I've encountered devices that support only SNMP version 1, OR SNMP version 2c, etc... One last idea- Set up SNMP on something like a JetDirect on your same IP subnetwork (not across a router/WAN/VLAN link) Just set it to 'public' or something common- Now try walking that- [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# snmpwalk -v 1 -c xxxxxx itslj4m SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: HP ETHERNET MULTI-ENVIRONMENT,ROM H.07.15,JETDIRECT EX,JD34,EEPROM H.08.49 SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.9.1 Tim Roman wrote: > > hi there > I am really not able to run mrtg under redhat 9. > > I have already tried this: > 1. > - download newest mrtg (2.10.13) / configure /install / start snmpd > - cfgmaker could not run because of 'no response received' from SNMP > server.... > then I tried to install net-snmp newer version (5.0.9) > but cfgmaker could not run with it, too. > > 2. after this I have returned back to original RH 9 packages of SNMP(5.0.6) > and mrtg(2.9.17-13) but result was very similar: > ---------------------------- start ----------------------------- > /usr/bin/cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir: /www/mrtg/data' --global 'Options[_]: > bits,growright' --output /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg [EMAIL PROTECTED] > --base: Get Device Info on [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > SNMP Error: > no response received > SNMPv1_Session (remote host: "fresange" [127.0.0.1].161) > community: "public" > request ID: 1907357759 > PDU bufsize: 8000 bytes > timeout: 2s > retries: 5 > backoff: 1) > at /usr/bin/../lib/mrtg2/SNMP_util.pm line 450 > SNMPGET Problem for sysDescr sysContact sysName sysLocation sysObjectID on > [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > at /usr/bin/cfgmaker line 657 > --base: Vendor Id: > --base: Populating confcache > --snpo: Skipping ifDescr scanning because [EMAIL PROTECTED]: does not seem to > support it > --snpo: Skipping ipAdEntIfIndex scanning because [EMAIL PROTECTED]: does not > seem to support it > --snpo: Skipping ifName scanning because [EMAIL PROTECTED]: does not seem to > support it > --snpo: Skipping ifType scanning because [EMAIL PROTECTED]: does not seem to > support it > --snpo: Skipping ifPhysAddress scanning because [EMAIL PROTECTED]: does not > seem to support it > --base: Get Interface Info > ..... > ------------------------------- end ------------------------- > > I suppose there is some problem with snmpd - here is the response to snmpwalk: > > prompt> /usr/bin/snmpwalk -v 2c -c public fresange > Timeout: No Response from fresange > > but I don't know how to resolve it. > > Any suggestions will be welcomed. > > Thanks > > HRom > -- > Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg > FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org > WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi http://www.gordano.com - Messaging for educators. -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
