SNMP problem with HP-A3100-24 v2 EI

[volf_martin]

Hello,

I want to retrieve mac-address table (FDB) from several types of switches with this command:

snmptable -v 3 -a MD5 -A xxx \

    -l authPriv -u snmp -x DES -X yyyy \

    -m BRIDGE-MIB -O0qsX \

    IPaddr dot1dTpFdbTable

or

snmpwalk (...) dot1dTpFdbPort

The problem is that HP-A3100-24 v2 EI returns only the first item. I have tried several firmware revisions, including the newest Version 5.20.99, Release 5203P05.

Other switches, e.g. HP 5920AF-24XG, HP A5500-24G-SFP EI, HP A3600-24-SFP, HP A3100-48 v2, even non-comware, e.g. HP-2610-24, return all items.

SNMP configuration:

snmp-agent mib-view included mib-2 mib-2
snmp-agent group v3 SNMP_GROUP privacy read-view mib-2
snmp-agent usm-user v3 snmp SNMP_GROUP authentication-mode md5 xxx \

    privacy-mode des56 yyyy

snmp-agent sys-info version v3
snmp-agent

Changing to SNMP version 2c didn't help.

Does anybody know what's wrong and how to fix it?

Thanks!

Sounds like something you should contact HP about, specially when you have a testcase (that is the same command returns all objects on other devices from the same vendor).

Thanks, I wanted to be sure I'm not doing something stupid. I have contacted HP and will report here once I have a solution.

The solution suggested by HP is using dot1qTpFdbTable instead of dot1dTpFdbTable which is working for me.
