Help SNMP monitor not working in PRTG

Post by Elefanten »

Hello
I am trying to use PRTG SNMP monitor on a Alcatel Omniswitch 6400-U24 switch and PRTG is not getting any traffic..
I am trying to configure this from the web interface on the switch and my settings is as follows :

SNMP Agent Configuration :
-Authentication traps: Enabled
-Security Level: No Security
-Community Mode : Enabled

User-Community String Map
Community string : Public
User name : snmptest
Storage-Type: Non-Volatile
Status: Enabled

Trap Stations :
IPv4: 192.168.1.10
Port: 162
SNMP protocol : SNMP v1
User : snmptest
Status : Enabled
PRTG is configured correctly pointing IP to switch192.168.1.15 and SNMP Version v1, Community string Public, SNMP port 162

I have other alcatel switches working but they are a different model.


Regards
Ellis

Did you create a user named snmptest? If not, try that out:
user snmptest read-only all no auth password SOME-PASSWORD
I believe the community string is case sensitive so make sure it's the same in PRTG ("Public" not "public")

when you do "show user", you should see output similar to:
User name = snmptest,
  Password expiration     = None,
  Password allow to be modified date     = None,
  Account lockout     = None,
  Password bad attempts     = 0,
  Read Only for domains   = All ,
  Read/Write for domains  = None,
  Snmp allowed     = YES,
  Snmp authentication     = NONE,
  Snmp encryption     = NONE,

Hi,

Use that command :
aaa authentication snmp local
user USERTEST password ******** read-write all no auth
snmp security no security
snmp community map COMMUNITYTEST user USERTEST on

Enjoy ;)

snmpv3 is also easy:

user snmp_user_name password very_secure_password md5+des read-only all
