Can you post what it actually says on the command line when you run the commands? That would help us determine what is failing.

Can you snmpwalk the device?

Code: Select all

snmpwalk <IP> -c <COUMMUNITY> -<VERSION(v2c)> | grep sysUpTime.o
Mine for example:

Code: Select all

snmpwalk 172.16.0.200 -c holden -v2c | grep sysUpTime
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (24376103) 2 days, 19:42:41.03

Try -v2c, I just made it that way in case you were using a different version. See my example I edited in my post above.

Not being able to SNMPWalk the device means the check is going to fail. Can you try it without the grep command?

That verifies that they can talk. Do you know the OID of sysUpTime.o? That could be another way to check.
