I don't have a suggestion at this time because we don't have this equipment but hopefully @kpoulson may chime in

You can test SNMP connectivity with the following

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v 2c -c 'COMMUNITYSTRING' HOSTNAME .

Sorry for the late reply, i did not get a notification of response.

You need to set your SNMP community in Device -> Setup -> Operations -> SNMP Setup
The one you linked are traps which to my understanding is the device sending a trap whenever an event is logged (not for polling)

Second, you need to allow SNMP on whatever interface you are trying to poll.
You do this by setting an Interface Management Profile on the specific interface and check the SNMP box for that specific profile.
Network -> Network Profiles -> Interface Mgmt

Then attach that profile to the interface you are polling.
Network -> interfaces -> Choose interface / subinterface -> Advanced -> Management Profile

Hope this helps :)
