Hello Saurabh,
We have had similar problems with AIX 5.3, but I do not have AIX 6.1, so I cannot test that. Our (very basic) config allows an unrestricted view of the MIB tree with the public community (Note: this is NOT a best practice, but you should make sure this responds before restricting access): logging file=/usr/tmp/snmpd.log enabled logging size=0 level=0 community public view 1.17.2 system enterprises view trap public 127.0.0.1 1.2.3 fe # loopback smux 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.1.2.1.2 gated_password # gated smux 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.1.2.2.1.1.2 dpid_password #dpid snmpd smuxtimeout=200 #muxatmd smux 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.1.2.3.1.1 muxatmd_password #muxatmd This site shows how to restrict access further: http://nagios.frank4dd.com/howto/aix-snmp-setup.htm We do not use SNMPv3, so I am unable to help there. But SNMPv1 seems to be required; the agent does not respond properly to SNMPv2c, we get no entries: D:\> snmpget -v 2c -c public HOSTNAME sysName.0 Error in packet Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB. Failed object: SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 D:\> snmpwalk -v 2c -c public HOSTNAME system End of MIB D:\> snmptable -v 2c -c public HOSTNAME hrStorageTable End of MIB HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageTable: No entries Are you able to walk these tables? C:\> snmptable -v 1 -c COMMUNITY HOSTNAME ifTable C:\> snmptable -v 1 -c COMMUNITY HOSTNAME hrStorageTable C:\> snmptable -v 1 -c COMMUNITY HOSTNAME hrSWRunTable This thread indicates that the AIX 5.3 SNMP agent may not provide the hrSWRunTable at all (but AIX 6.1 does). I am still researching this matter. http://unix.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/ibm-aix-l/implemen ting-hostresource-mib-in-ibmaix-573126 Thanks, --Mark S ________________________________ Mark Serencha - Inforonics Global Services, LLC - (m) +1-781-439-0519 - Mark.Serencha_AT_inforonics.com From: Bohra, Saurabh [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2012 4:27 PM To: spectrum Subject: [spectrum] Monitoring AIX 6.1 from Spectrum Hello Spectrum users, Is anyone monitoring AIX 6.1 servers from Spectrum using the AIX snmp agent which comes with the OS? We have few AIX 6.1 servers running the AIX Snmp agent which comes with the box. We have been trying to configure the snmpd.conf and snmpdv3.conf on the server, however we are unable to get response in the enterprises mib structure and also partially get response from the mib-2 as follows. Can someone please share sample configuration file if they are using AIX SNMP agent.
