no snmp info from switch

[frank]

Hai there,

I've a problem with Zabbix.

I can not monitor the IfOctetsIn or out of a single snmp switch or hub!

I add a host with the right IP and port number and set the status to "not monitored", then I go to items ans set the right type (snmp v1 or v2), the right OID, no multiplier, status: monitored, type of info: nummeric and store value: delta.

then i go back to host and et the host to monitored, within a minute the host is unreachable. How is that possible??

i.e. with a simple program like prtg(trial) it is possible to monitor the same port and not with zabbix!!

(with-net-snmp flag is configured on Zabbix manager)

ps excuse my english writing, it's not very good...

Make sure that community, OID, item type and version of SNMP agent is right. Use snmpwalk or snmpget utility for OID discovery.

no snmp

hai ,

I want to check the comm.string: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.1 from a Shiva(R) LanRover(TM) Access Switch. (IfOctetsIn-port1) Checked with SNMP Info Application.
comm.string: public and version is Version 1
even the last number changed from 10.(1) to 10.(101), but Zabbix always says "unreachable"

Is there something in Zabbix config what I have to change?

I works with (trial)prtg monitor..

[Alexei]

Try .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.1 (note dot prefix). Also check LogFile for any warning or error messages.

it works!!

Hai there,

yeah, it works so far.
I know what I did wrong I think:

I used a template for the host, and the default value was snmp-v2 by all the items.
The moment I switched the host on monitoring, all items were wrong configured, and thus its was unreachable.

Can this be true?

thanks for advise!
