Post by abriscoeexec »

I am unable to get Nagios XI to do an SNMP walk or find a switch with the Switch and router wizard. I ran a diag commannd on the Nagios server and got the following response

The possible problems for the error

Code: Select all

no response received
are most likely the following:
incorrect IP
incorrect community string for the device (currently you are using 'public')
incorrect SNMP version support (you are currently trying 2)
The device doesn't have SNMP enabled

What is the make and model of the device you are trying to poll using SNMP?
It it is a firewall, you may need to setup an access rule to allow the XI server access to SNMP.

Can you run a snmpwalk and an nmap command from the Nagios server and post the output here?

Code: Select all

snmpwalk 10.0.15.15 -v 2c -c public
nmap 10.0.15.15 -p 161 -sU
