I
have
seen this movie before :)
Are
you using /usr/OV/conf/communityNames.conf???
Here's
my "guess" at why this is happening is
this:
Netmon
has access to communityNames.conf and therefore, netmon can successfully
demandpoll the node.
However, other applications use the xnmsnmpconf (snmp) database
exclusively.
Any
of
the snmp commands (set, get, walk), Monitor-->MIB Values-->System
Information, etc.. - ALL fail.
Are
you doing data collection? It is probably not working
either.
Cleanup your community names database (xnmsnmpconf).
Get
rid of communityNames.conf.
My advise is
to only use communityNames.conf temporarily to
help
with node discovery and not to use it routinely.

Netview 7.1.3 on AIX 4.3.3
Nmdemandpoll and ping are successful from the
Netview server (server1) to a router, but snmpwalk fails. Router is behind a
firewall. All snmp parameters are set correctly on the router, including the
access list. Another Netview server (server2) sitting on the same subnet as
the router is able to snmpwalk the router fine.
Ovobjprint on the router from server1 shows
(among
other things):
14 OVW Maps Exists 1
15 OVW Maps Managed 1
57 SNMPAgent Unset(0)
82 IP Status Normal(2)
85 isIPRouter FALSE
112 vendor Unset(0)
124 isNode TRUE 126 isComputer TRUE 127 isConnector FALSE 128 isBridge FALSE 129 isRouter FALSE
[notice the SNMP Agent Unset(0) and isRouter
FALSE
fields]
Ovobjprint on the router from server2 shows
(among
other things):
14 OVW Maps Exists 1
15 OVW Maps Managed 1
57 SNMPAgent Cisco
Router(3) 82 IP Status
Normal(2) 85 isIPRouter
TRUE 112 vendor cisco
Systems(12) 124 isNode
TRUE 126 isComputer
TRUE 127 isConnector
TRUE 128 isBridge
FALSE 129 isRouter
TRUE
Before I go jumping on the firewall people, is
there something I can try to ensure it is a firewall issue?
