Not able to SNMP WALK for a GET

Check whether the MIB browser has IP connectivity to the SNMP agent on the the switch. Use
IP Ping from the client system which has the MIB Browser.

Check if the community string is the same at the agent side and the manager (MIB Browser)
side. The community name is case sensitive.

MIB not visible in the MIB browser

The filename.mib file should be first compiled using a MIB compiler, which creates a smidb file.
This file must be loaded in the MIB browser.

SNMP SETs not working

Check to see if environment variables are set. The following are the environment variables to be
set.

SNMPCONFPATH=/butterfly/snmp

MIBDIRS=/butterfly/snmp/mibs

MIBS=ALL

Restart the SNMP agent (the snmpd daemon)

Not receiving SNMP traps

Check whether SNMP traps are enabled through CLI or Applet. Configure the MIB browser to
display notifications or traps. (This would generally be a check box in the MIB browser preferences).

Additional Configuration

Double check Managers' IP Address, community string, port number, read/write permissions, and
snmp version. Remember community string is CASE SENSITIVE.

Switch password recovery

If the switch Web UI password is lost, you cannot get past the Web UI login screen for any viable
switch configuration activity. Consequently, a password recovery login must be used that will
default your switch back to its factory default configuration.
