How to configure SNMP v1v2c on Extreme Switch

yvesantoci — Wed, 25 Aug 2021 03:17:07 GMT

Hello guys, how are you?

Could you please help me with a SNMP configuration?

I have a Zabbix server and I have two extreme switches

I need to configure these two switches with SNMP v1v2c with the port 161 to zabbix server.

Could you please send me a step-by-step to do this from the ground-zero?

Regards,

Yves Antoci

Hi Yves,

How To: How to enable SNMPv2 on EXOS | Extreme Portal (force.com)

This should answer your question.

Or do you need a guide on how to do the initial configuration of the whole switch? Is your switch completely unconfigured?

Hi,

what do you mean “not working”?

Any infos in the log (command: “show log”) or in the management infos ( command: “show management” there are some infos about snmp at the end of the output)? “Auth”Errors or similar.

Hi Yves,

the SNMP packets reach the switch but are rejected, see “AuthErrors”.
Tbh I never really used SNMPv2 with EXOS, only SNMPv3, so I can’t really check your config for errors. Auth Error with SNMPv2 could mean that Zabbix uses wrong community name. How did you configure Zabbix? SNMPv2 and community “Traders”?

Best regards
Stefan

Hi Yves,

I don’t want to be picky, but is it possible to migrate towards SNMPv3 perhaps? It would give you a lot more in terms of security of the management traffic…

Kind regards,

Tomasz
