I am having major issues trying to get my devices to respond consistently when using an snmp community other than public. I can do snmpwalk and snmpgets with the other community just fine and get consistent replies.
However; the IfDescr key seems to frequently have issues. I am using the built-in template for snmp intefaces.
The snmp status seems to flap sometimes failing and then shortly returning to available.
Items and therefore triggers and graphs do not get discovered, etc.
All this goes away when I add a community of public to the same device.
I am doing a mass update of the items to use the non-public community and even hard coding it in the template but still having issues.
Can anyone shed any light on what might be going on or where I can read up on exactly how this is supposed to work so I can figure out what I have misconfigured?
thanks in advance....scd
