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:

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.

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.

 

Thanks,
