snmp problem

lin.chen — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 22:20:41 GMT

we have two servers in different site.And there is one snmp server in another site.
customer complain the response from the two server is different.
we suspect the WAN network problem,but we did not have evidence.

Is there some logs for snmp in HPUX(it will tell when snmp response the server's request)
Or could you give me suggestion?
Regards,Louis

Shalom Louis,

A log sample would be very helpful.

Look at the snmpd.conf file for the location.

If none is defined check /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Maybe you could check from the customer's host by timing the the response to an snmpget for the sysDescr OID, which is according to the SNMP mandatory for every vendor specific MIB extension.
And so the hpux snmpd diligently responds:

$ time snmpget -v1 -c public gomera .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: HP-UX gomera B.11.11 U 9000/800 168424631
