SNMP configuration on EqualLogic PS6610es
Hi,
I am trying to configure SNMP monitoring for a PS6610es EqualLogic storage array.
-I go to group configuration, SNMP, and add the read only community string, as well as, the monitoring server IP under trap destinations with the same community string under access.
-I am able to ping my Equallogic from my monitoring server with no problem.
-I am able to successfully complete a nc -zuvv to port 161 from monitoring server to equallogic ip.
-I am able to successfully complete a SNMP walk with v2 ROcommunitry string from monitoring server from linux command line (snmpwalk -v2c -On -c )
***I use the management IP address for all three tests above.
However, when I go to add the test via the application GUI, I keep getting an error SNMP agent no running on remote host, or incorrect community string. If I look in the audit log on the EqualLogic I see an entry for "SNMP packet validation failed, request received from
The monitoring application is called Traverse.
I feel everything is in place for this to work, yet it is not. Do you have any recommendations on this setup? Or a way to get more details out of my error message? Please help :(
Sincerely,
Nick

Hi,
Thank you for your response. I have done more research from the monitoring tool side, and found a debugging program that outputs this error…
[root@fs00984 utils]# ./probeSnmpTests.pl --host 10.1.118.5 --comm xxxx --version 2 --debug > snmpprobe-device.txt
ERROR: snmp agent not running on remote host or incorrect community string
I am very sure the community string is correct, but it still comes back agent not running. Is there any low level way to query snmp service from the Dell side?
Thanks in advance.
Nick
