SNMP - Cisco 2960 - Timeout ...

[Davvv]

Hello !

I'm trying to monitor a cisco 2960 switch. i got a "timeout while connecting to .."
Zabbix version : 1.8
Zabbix server : 10.1.5.33
cisco : 10.0.99.39

I checked all my configurations files but i can't get the solution. i looked after the solution on zabbix forum but still no answer.

the snmpwalk command works : snmpwalk -c test -v1 10.0.99.39:161
i got a lot of informations.

the snmp configuration on my cisco is :

PHP Code:

access-list 50 permit 10.1.5.33

snmp-server community test RO 50
snmp-server enable traps snmp authentication linkdown linkup coldstart warmstart
snmp-server enable traps tty
snmp-server enable traps cluster
snmp-server enable traps entity
snmp-server enable traps cpu threshold
snmp-server enable traps vtp
snmp-server enable traps vlancreate
snmp-server enable traps vlandelete
snmp-server enable traps flash insertion removal
snmp-server enable traps port-security
snmp-server enable traps envmon fan shutdown supply temperature status
snmp-server enable traps mac-notification
snmp-server enable traps config-copy
snmp-server enable traps config
snmp-server enable traps bridge newroot topologychange
snmp-server enable traps stpx inconsistency root-inconsistency loop-inconsistency
snmp-server enable traps syslog
snmp-server enable traps vlan-membership
snmp-server host 10.1.5.33 test 


my snmp configuration file :

PHP Code:

#       sec.name  source          community
com2sec paranoid  default         test
#com2sec readonly  default         public
#com2sec readwrite default         private

####
# Second, map the security names into group names:

#               sec.model  sec.name
group RO v1        paranoid
group RO v2c       paranoid
group RO usm       paranoid
group RO v1         readonly
group RO v2c        readonly
group RO usm        readonly
group MyRWGroup v1         readwrite
group MyRWGroup v2c        readwrite
group MyRWGroup usm        readwrite 


if somebody has an idea please don't hesitate

Hi,

You don't describe how you have configured SNMP monitoring within Zabbix.
Have changed SNMP community from 'public' default value to 'test' ?

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.
Sorry about that, i forgot to tell you this point.

So i did configure the differents ITEMS with the community name (test), the SNMP port 161 and SNMP v1. I can see that the triggers are well configured (green icon).
Then i got the timeout by checking on the host availabily on Zabbix.

Is there anything else to setup ?

Thanks in advance ...

When you say you configured "triggers" do you mean items?

Also, configure SNMP to be version 2c, not v1... look at the "Latest data" link in the Monitoring section of Zabbix to see if Zabbix can pull SNMP data

Just so you know, I have a Cisco 2960 switch I'm monitoring with Zabbix and it's working fine...

Thanks you for your help ericgearhart.
It's working fine now, i change the snmp version on my items and on the cisco 2960. And i got all the informations on my zabbix server.
