5.4.6.2 SNMP Troubleshooting Help

In configuring and using SNMP, the SNMP server may fail to run properly due to physical

connection failure, wrong configuration, etc. The user should ensure the following:

—

Good condition of the physical connection.

—

Interface and datalink layer protocol is Up (use the “show interface” command), and the

connection between the switch and host are intact and can be verified by ping (use “ping”

command).

—

The switch enabled SNMP Agent server function (use “snmp-server enable” command)

—

Secure IP for NMS (use “snmp-server securityip” command) and community string (use

“snmp-server community” command) are correctly configured, as if any of them fails, SNMP

will not be able to communicate with NMS properly.

—

If Trap function is required, remember to enable Trap (use “snmp-server enable traps”

command), and remember to properly configure the target host IP address and community

string for Trap (use “snmp-server host” command) to ensure Trap message can be sent to the

specified host.

—

If RMON function is required, RMON must be enabled first (use “rmon enable” command).

—

During SNMP operation, if the user has any doubt, “show snmp” command can be used to

check for statistics for SNMP traffic, or use “show snmp status” command to check for SNMP

configuration information, or “debug snmp packet” command to enable SNMP debugging

function and view the debug output.
