[f-nsp] SNMP on Foundry BigIron8000

[Jeff Spicedham]

Hello,

I am on a contract, trying to monitor a pair of Foundry BigIron 8000's with 
snmp. Below are the relevant lines from the config (I think):

SSH at bi8kb#sh ver
  SW: Version 07.5.05fT53 Copyright (c) 1996-2002 Foundry Networks, Inc.
      Compiled on Nov 01 2002 at 17:15:02 labeled as B2P07505f
  HW: BigIron 8000 Router, SYSIF version 21


SSH at bi8kb#sh conf

Startup-config data location is flash memory

Startup configuration:

(snip)

snmp-server community ..... ro
snmp-server community ..... ro
snmp-server enable ethe 1/5 to 1/6
snmp-server enable vlan 44

(snip)

snmp-client X.X.X.X

(snip)

SSH at bi8kb#debug ip udp
SSH at bi8kb#debug destination ssh 1

(I run snmpwalk from the client)

Jul 15 06:26:54 UDP: rcvd src X.X.X.X(port 23900) -> dest Y.Y.Y.Y(port 161), 
length:62
Jul 15 06:26:55 UDP: rcvd src X.X.X.X(port 23900) -> dest Y.Y.Y.Y(port 161), 
length:62
Jul 15 06:26:56 UDP: rcvd src X.X.X.X(port 23900) -> dest Y.Y.Y.Y(port 161), 
length:62
Jul 15 06:26:57 UDP: rcvd src X.X.X.X(port 23900) -> dest Y.Y.Y.Y(port 161), 
length:62
Jul 15 06:26:58 UDP: rcvd src X.X.X.X(port 23900) -> dest Y.Y.Y.Y(port 161), 
length:62


So the packets make it to the router...

Of course, on the client side, there is simply a timeout.

# snmpwalk -v 1 -c public Y.Y.Y.Y
Timeout: No Response from Y.Y.Y.Y

Am I missing anything extra? I'm sure the community string is correct. I'd 
like to keep it simple and use SNMPv1 for now.

I know "snmp-server enable" has options for ethernet or vlan, but it will 
only accept one vlan - the two ethernet interfaces are the possible ingress 
points for the SNMP requests. I have gotten SNMP to work on BigIron's 
before, so I know its possible (maybe I'm just rusty...)

There is route-based load balancing into and out of the switch, so I can't 
guarantee which vlan or interface the SNMP traffic will come in on.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff
