Cisco Access switch shows no response with snmp enabled, why?

[[email protected]]

This is an attempt to configure my Cisco access switch with IP address - 10.224.74.131, using the network switch wizard in Configure. We have checked that the v2c community is correct. However, we can't get the switch under monitoring with error messages stating that we have to run the command below (in Nagios XI server) and send the results in this Support forum.
Please see the command we ran with the corresponding results,

Dear all,

Please see the answers,

1. Linux Distribution and version? 32 or 64bit? RHEL9 on AWS EC2 Instance
2. VMware Image or Manual Install of XI? Manual install
3. Are there special configurations on your system, ie; is Gnome installed? Are you using a proxy? Are you using SSL? None
*Note: this is a new Nagios XI installation

Please see the attached system profile in zipped format.

You could try using nmap to see if port 161 is open, ssh to port 161 on the switch and then change the C-string to something simpler in case its the issue.
Obviously make sure the switch answers ping.

Hi,

I used nmap to detect the port 161 on the Nagios server. I tried "nmap -p 161 10.224.74.131" and the result was,

PORT STATE SERVICE
161/tcp filtered snmp

Search the internet for nmap filtered.
