C.2 Troubleshooting SNMP Issues
The following SNMP-related issued could require troubleshooting as SNMP issues are experienced with the Motorola
Solutions RF Series Switch.
•
MIB Browser not able to contact the agent
•
Not able to SNMP WALK for a GET
•
MIB not visible in the MIB browser
•
SNMP SETs not working
•
Not receiving SNMP traps
•
Additional Configuration
C.2.1 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
Web UI can do this.
C.2.2 Not able to SNMP WALK for a GET
• Check whether the MIB browser has IP connectivity to the SNMP agent on 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.
C.2.3 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.
C.2.4 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)
C.2.5 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).
C.2.6 Additional Configuration
Double check Managers' IP Address, community string, port number, read/write permissions, and snmp version. Remember
community string is CASE SENSITIVE.
