Unable to monitor switch with snmp

[mbobkiewicz]

Hi,
my setup:
Centos 4.3, Kernel 2.6.9-34
net-snmp 5.1.2
zabbix 1.1b11
Dell Switch 5324
configure: --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-net-snmp
Compiles and installs without any errors.

What I want to do is getting some values from the switch via snmp. My problem: everytime I enter a key to zabbix it changes it´s state to "not supported". I´ve tried different values: Switch name, link state error count etc. to see if it is related to the value type but no change. What makes me wander is that I have to give additional parameter to snmpwalk and snmpget than descriped in the manual.
While the manual says:
snmpwalk <host or host IP> public
to get the list I have to type:
snmpwalk <host or host IP> -v2c -c public
to get a result. Same with snmpget. The line from the manual only leads into error messages. Could this be the problem? Any advice would be welcome.

Have you started your snmp Server?

Perhaps this could be a problem.


What said the zabbix server if you send the following command from consol:

snmpwalk -v1 -c<community-name> <IP-Adress>

Please post what your result is.

Sorry, here are my settings:
Name of the system:
snmpget -On ip-of-switch -v2c -c public sysName.0
result: .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0 = STRING: Dell1
In Zabbix:
Type: SNMPv2 Agent (also tested v1 and v3)
OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0 (also tested with leading dot and with key name)
Key: sysName.0
Type: Character

Portstatus:
snmpget -On ip-of-switch -v2c -c public ifAdminStatus.1
result: .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.7.1 = INTEGER: up(1)
In Zabbix:
Type: SNMPv2 Agent
OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.7.1
Key: ifAdminStatus.1
Type: Numeric (Integer 64 bit) (also tried the float type)

All the rest of fields are at their default values.

Could you please try this command from command line.

snmpwalk -v1 -c public <IP-Adress> 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0

What is the result?

Hi Krusty,
while getting a total of nearly 9000 values I´ll just post the first lines:

SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Ethernet Switch

Okay, the snmp works fine.

Please try this to check if you get values from the switch.

snmpwalk -v1 -c public <IP-Adress> 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0

>Please try this to check if you get values from the switch.
>snmpwalk -v1 -c public <IP-Adress> 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0
Returns SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: Dell1

Thanks for all your help folks, Beta 12 fixes the problem.
