SNMP 10.4 Server - cannot get a response

roninuta · 04-29-2011, 12:46 PM

I have a filemaker server that I need to get SNMP running on. Unfortunately for me it's 10.4. I have read numerous sites (bynkii, Intermapper help forums, etc). Although I can configure the conf file both manually as well as though snmpconf -i, I cannot get a basic snmpwalk to work on localhost.

ps shows /usr/sbin/snmpd running (PID 6590)
I've added /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.net-snmp.snmpd.plist manually.
and I'm using:

Code:

load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.net-snmp.snmpd.plist

to launch snmpd.

When I try a snmpwalk I get:

Code:

root# snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost sysName.0
Timeout: No Response from localhost

where public is my rocommunity string.

It also does not show on port 161 when I portscan the box.

I'm open to any and all suggestions!
TIA!

Does the computer have 10.4 Server software on it, or the Client Server? Its been a while since I looked at it, but I seem to recall that the server tools will allow you to set it up fairly easily.

Did you allow port 161 through the firewall?

I don't really have any experience with setting up mail servers, but I was able to follow the example in the manual and get it working, but that was with 10.4 Server and the Server GUI Tools. I couldn't help with the command line stuff.

Keep in mind that SNMP works on UDP. It will therefor not show up if you scan for open ports (which is TCP by default).

Most likely cause is SNMP isn't running on the server or the community string is wrong.

And do change the community string. Public and private are well known community strings.
