Chapter 5. Troubleshooting Snmp Issues; Mib Browser Not Able To Contact The Agent; Not Able To Snmp Walk For A Get; Mib Not Visible In The Mib Browser - Motorola RFS7000 Series Troubleshooting Manual

The following SNMP-releated issued could require troubleshooting as SNMP issues are experienced with the RFS7000
switch.

5.1 MIB Browser not able to contact the agent

General error messages on the MIB Browser: Timeout, No Response.
The client IP where the MIB browser is present should be made known to the agent. Adding SNMP clients
through CLI or Applet can do this. This can be verified by looking at /butterfly/snmp/snmpd.conf. The entries
are generally present towards the end of this file.

5.2 Not able to SNMP WALK for a GET

First check whether the MIB browser has IP connectivity to the SNMP agent on the WS5K. Use IP Ping from
the PC which has the MIB Browser.
Then check if the community string is the same at the agent side and the manager (MIB Browser) side.
Community name is case sensitive.

5.3 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.

5.4 If SETs still don't happen

Check to see if environment variables are set. The following are the env variable to be set.
SNMPCONFPATH=/butterfly/snmp
MIBDIRS=/butterfly/snmp/mibs
MIBS=ALL
Restart the SNMP agent (the snmpd daemon)
