Do you want to use SNMP v2c or v3? I don't see a v3 user setup in your configs.

See here:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.2?top ... ent-snmpv3

In earlier versions of the AIX operating system, SNMPv1 was the only available version of SNMP for AIX.

What AIX version is the system running?

hi

on the AIX machine try:

Code: Select all

lslpp /usr/sbin/snmpd

The information you get back should tell us what version of snmpd is running, please
send me the output.

Also, while on the AIX machine please try:

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v 2c -c ABB x.x.x.x
snmpwalk -v 1 -c ABB x.x.x.x

where x.x.x.x is the IP of the AIX machine

Hi

I don't have an AIX machine available to me so you will need to work with someone at your company
or at IBM to understand the lslpp command. Usually you can get more information on a command by running "man lslpp"
I am guessing

lslpp -l /usr/sbin/snmpd

is what we want. The goal is to find out what version of snmp is
being used by the /usr/sbin/snmpd daemon.

Also - please ask your AIX guy or IBM support guy how to install snmpwalk on the AIX machine.

Thanks
