Sorry,
I forgot to mention but I do have all the addresses configured in xnmsnmpconf.
It is fully confiugred to poll correctly every device in the net. That's
ok, I can check that snmpwalking every device without errors.
But....all entries were IMPORTED, if it is relevant to say, with
xnmsnmpconf -imp file command (is this an issue??).
I want
to mention that Netview was working fine UNTIL the IP address change. After
then, the netmon polling fails.
No,
there are no entries in communityNames.conf.
thanks

Your question is confusing. If you can walk it, and
they are not using the default, then there must be specific entries in
xnmsnmpconf for the node. But those entries do not get put in there until the
node is discovered. Do you have the alternate communities listed in the
/usr/OV/conf/communityNames.conf file? Those are used at discovery and at
demandpoll to add specific entries in xnmsnmpconf.
Cordially,

Subject: [nv-l] netmon
and SNMP communities
|
Hello List:
I have a customer with Netview
7.1.3 on Linux who tries to discover his network with it. The thing is that,
having a seed file that only discovers SNMP devices ( !@oid 0 ), he can't
discover any device beside the ones using the default community. Any device
that has another SNMP community different than the default, can't be
discovered.
I will give full details: Looking into the matter, i found
that the SNMP configuration (xnmsnmpconf) is correct because I can manually
poll these devices using snmpwalk without specifying community. I found that
netmon is the one who is using wrong communities to poll because the cisco
agents in the network keep telling that netview causes authentication failure,
thus netview doesnt discover any device due to the seed file.
This is
very strange to me, because i thought that the netview engine used the same
snmp configuration that CLI commands.
Another detail is that before
this problem occurred, my customer changed the netview's IP address, so I ran
reset_ci to solve the apparent problem but nothing happenned....
What
could be happening???? My last resort is to deinstall but I would like to
solve this issue as a Netview supporter.
Thanks in
advance.
