    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

    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,

    The command you send me does not exist on AIX.

    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

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

    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.

    Hi Pavel,

    That's the solution.

    Thanks,

    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 ?
