SNMP Access Problems
Verify Community Name Access Information
In order to communicate using SNMP, the user on the NMS must know the community
name on the access server. To determine which community names exist on an access
server, enter the following command:
Local> SHOW SNMP
SNMP State: Enabled Authentication Failure: Enabled
Community Name Address GET GETNEXT SET TRAP
PUBLIC ANY ENA ENA DIS DIS
SECRET 60.10.12.61 ENA ENA ENA ENA
Verify that the access server allows either:
• Any NMS to access the community name
• A specific NMS to access the community name
If the Address field is set to ANY, any NMS can access that community name. If the
Address field contains an NMS IP address, only that NMS can access that community
name. For more information on configuring the access server for SNMP access, refer to
the Network Access Software Management Guide.
Verify Operations Enabled for the Community Name
SNMP access to the access server is configured by SNMP communities. To determine
what operations are enabled for the community name, enter the following command:
Local> SHOW SNMP
SNMP State: Enabled Authentication Failure: Enabled
Community Name Address GET GETNEXT SET TRAP
PUBLIC ANY DIS DIS DIS DIS
SECRET 60.10.12.61 ENA ENA ENA ENA
If the required operations are Disabled, enter the following commands. Substitute the
community name for Public:
Local> CHANGE SNMP COMMUNITY "Public" GET ENABLED
Local> CHANGE SNMP COMMUNITY "Public" GETNEXT ENABLED
Local> CHANGE SNMP COMMUNITY "Public" SET ENABLED
For more information on configuring the access server for SNMP access, refer to the
Network Access Software Management Guide.
