Sonicwall - Bulk Requests

[Daniel4711]

Hello guys!

If someone has problems with monitoring a Dell Sonicwall NSA2600 with Firmware 6.2.5.1-26n , he should disable the bulk requests.

A query of sonicSAStatUserName from the MIB SONICWALL-FIREWALL-IP-STATISTICS-MIB provides incorrect values, which are confirmed by a snmpbulkrequest command.

snmpbulkwalk -v2c -c public -Cn0 -Cr14 192.168.100.233 .1.3.6.1.4.1.8741.1.3.2.1.1.1.14

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.8741.1.3.2.1.1.1.14.335039153 = Hex-STRING: 56 50 4E 2D 48 61 67 65 6E 2D 4C 61 6E 63 6F 6D 00
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.8741.1.3.2.1.1.1.14.461377057 = STRING: "VPN-Hagen-Lan"
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.8741.1.3.2.1.1.1.14.2712169472 = STRING: "VPN-Hagen-Lancom"
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.8741.1.3.2.1.1.1.14.3057154726 = STRING: "VPN-Hagen-Lancom"
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.8741.1.3.2.1.1.1.14.3989336164 = STRING: "VPN-Hagen-Lancom"

The Ideal Output should be like this:

Befehl: snmpbulkwalk -v2c -c public -Cn0 -Cr14 192.168.100.233 .1.3.6.1.4.1.8741.1.3.2.1.1.1.14

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.8741.1.3.2.1.1.1.14.335039153 = STRING: "VPN Connection 1"
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.8741.1.3.2.1.1.1.14.461377057 = STRING: "VPN Connection 2"
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.8741.1.3.2.1.1.1.14.2712169472 = STRING: "VPN Connection 3"
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.8741.1.3.2.1.1.1.14.3057154726 = STRING: "VPN Connection 4"
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.8741.1.3.2.1.1.1.14.3989336164 = STRING: "VPN Connection 5"

I have opened a case at Sonicwall and will add an entry to http://zabbix.org/wiki/Bulk_SNMP_req...vice_blacklist if this wont be fixed.

What is the problem you are describing? From what I can see in the output, the only difference is the name of the SA but how would bulk vs. not-bulk change the name returned by the query?
