Well, it looks like I may need a bit of a tutorial on the snmpwalk application. I can't seem to get it to do anything unless I give it the debugging flag in which case it keeps returning my name. I am specifying the OID as a numeric string as the dependency issue is pprbably present on the machine as well.
What would be the correct syntax to query for the system info, something not dependent on the hiperarc.mib? What shoudl I expect to see as output?
snmpwalk <hostname> <community> should give you basic MIB-II values Something like: quiz:/home/jeffm> snmpwalk <hostname> <community> system.sysDescr.0 = "3Com 17-Slot Chassis with PB clocking" system.sysObjectID.0 = OID: enterprises.usr.usrSysOIDs.chas17SlotClk ... UCD-SNMP will walk the normal mib-ii tree if you don't specify what branch you want to start with. That's a good starting point to work on things...get that working, then you can worry about getting the enterprises branch in shape. :) -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
