Scott:
First
of all, thanks.
I did
as you told me to and got the netmon.trace, but it only shows the community
used with already discovered nodes... The thing is that, because of my seed
file (!@oid 0), no nodes with communities
other than the default were discovered, which are the ones I try to poll AND
discover.
During times of problem - use the netmon -a 175 command and look in
/usr/OV/log/netmon.trace to see if the community name is different than the
one reported in xnmsnmpconf. Thats the bug Leslie is referring
to.
Do
you have maintenance on this 7.1.3? There were problems with communities
that were fixed.
Cordially,

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.
