How to enable SNMP on AP305C IQ Engine ?

[MikeM1]

Hi there, I am trying to enable SNMP on AP305C IPaddress: 10.1.15.158.

I am following the next manual.

How To: How to configure SNMP on ExtremeCloud IQ (XIQ) | Extreme Portal

But after passing all these steps SNMPwalk returns a timeout.

~$ snmpwalk -v 3 -On -u username -l authPriv -a MD5 -A 'password' -x DES -X 'password' -m ALL 10.1.15.158 1.3.6.1.4.1.1916
~$ snmpwalk: Timeout

Could you please advise how to make it work as expected?

Your options would be:

1. to match the management and native VLANs in the additional settings of the network policy and the native VLAN in your port type to match the true VLANs on the switch, or
2. leave the VLANs set as they are in the network policy and match the native on the port type to them.

Currently, your management and native are set to the same value, which makes that VLAN an untagged VLAN leaving the AP. The traffic then gets tagged with the native/untagged VLAN on the switch port. For example, if you leave it at the default of 1 and 1 for management and native, but the native on the switch port is 5, it will flow through your network as VLAN 5 while the AP would report it as VLAN 1.

Thank you for looking, yes, the ports on the switch are configured, what should I do next to force the config? - is it just assigning a location or anything else?

Hi Roman, thanks for adding me to your XIQ instance. I reviewed your setup with Nick and the configuration looks good. We see that the SNMP configuration is reflected in the delta audit on the AP, which just means it's waiting to be pushed out. We did notice that the native VLAN in your SNMP set up is different than the native VLAN currently in use. It's possible that when you are trying to push the SNMP configuration out to your AP, it's attempting to switch to the new Native VLAN but isn't able to pass traffic on that VLAN, which would cause it to lose connectivity with the network and revert the configuration change back to what it was before the latest update push. If you could confirm that the switch ports are all configured to support the new Native VLAN, that would help.

Also, the SNMP location will be picked up from the location you assign to the AP. You can assign the AP location in the ML Insights> Network 360 Monitor page.

Hope this helps! Let us know if you need any assistance checking your ports for the new native VLAN.

Done, added spirok@extremenetworks.com as an admin - apologies in advance if I did something stupid and that is why it's not working!

Please add my colleague Sam as an external admin with the Administrator role and update this thread when it is done. The email you would add is spirok@extremenetworks.com.
