Trying to configure SAN switches

Ronald

Hi , configured a san switch in the config file:

172.24.97.197::BRCD:SAN_A
#
# Define your SNMP port If you using another then default 161
SNMP_PORT=162

Also configured on the switch snmp with port numbner 162 and trap level Informatical

When testing the configuration I've the following error:

=========================

Hi,

can you try these commands?

snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 172.24.97.197 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 172.24.97.197:162 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5

Hi,
I can't find the command snmpwalk.
I'm running on AIX 7.1 and have installed some rpm's
net-snmp-5.7.2-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
net-snmp-devel-5.7.2-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
net-snmp-perl-5.7.2-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
net-snmp-utils-5.7.2-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

Hi,

try this path on aix:

/opt/freeware/bin/snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 172.24.97.197 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5
/opt/freeware/bin/snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 172.24.97.197:162 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5

Karel

Ronald

That's the location thanks,

/opt/freeware/bin/snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 172.24.97.197 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5
No return to the prompt.

/opt/freeware/bin/snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 172.24.97.197:162 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5
Timeout: No Response from 172.24.97.197:162

The config on the switch:
Community 4: public (ro)
Trap recipient: 172.24.97.81
Trap port: 162
Trap recipient Severity level: 4

Hi,

snmpconfig --show snmpv1

send us output via https://upload.stor2rrd.com

Ronald

Hi,

The command you send me does not exist on AIX.

Ronald

Karel

Hi,

you have to run this command on your switch.

e.g.
# ssh -l admin
SAN:admin> snmpconfig --show snmpv1
SNMPv1 community and trap recipient configuration:
...
Community 4: public (ro)
No trap recipient configured yet
...

Hi,

On a linux system the command works:
snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 172.24.97.197 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5
SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: l2-fs10-e0m

Hi , Ive still problems with an AIX system to monitor the switches. What can be the different between the Linux and the AIX system?

Ronald

Pavel

what is the problem exactly? Any error message?
Do you use on AIX this version : net-snmp-5.6.2.1-1 ?

I'm using on AIX: net-snmp-5.7.2-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

Ronald

I've the same problem when using the port 161

Pavel

Definitelly do not use net-snmp-5.7.2-1. It simply does not work, no clue why, on some sites it works fine but on others do not.

Use net-snmp-5.6.2.1-1 on AIX as is stated in the install docu. It works everywhere without problems.

Ronald

Hi Pavel,

That's the solution.

Thanks,

Ronald

Hi Pavel,

We are using net-snmp-5.7.2-24.el7_2.1.ppc64le on a CentOS installation on a Power8 machine. We are experiencing the same issues here, but there is no 5.6.x version available for ppc64le architecture. Is there any work ongoing to make everything work with 5.7.x ?
