SNMP getting interfaces from HP-UX machines

Hi,

Using the stock HP-UX V11.0 snmpd. Cannot seem to get the interfaces back automatically when adding them to cacti. Looked at the code and executed the commands manually and seems the problem is in HP. Anyone tried doing this on HP????? It works just fine for AIX and Solaris.

Works ok for me using 0.6.7 cacti and default 11.0 HP-UX. Did you get back nothing, or bad data, or what?

I tried snmpwalk to be sure, and that returns the same data.

Here's what I got:

Code: Select all

Interface Number  Description  Speed  Hardware Address  IP Address   
1  lan1 Hewlett-Packard 10/100Base-TX Half-Duplex Hw Rev 0  10 mbit  8:0:9:d5:60:7d
2  lan2 Hewlett-Packard 10/100Base-TX Full-Duplex Manu Hw Rev 0  100 mbit  8:0:9:d5:60:7c  192.168.1.1
3  lan0 Hewlett-Packard LAN Interface Hw Rev 0  10 mbit  0:60:b0:32:9a:67
4  software loopback  100 mbit   127.0.0.1

Well.... Am getting back info from snmpwalk command inconsistently. Again this is using the HP snmp daemon - which is started (manually) by the following:

# /etc/snmpd
Start SNMP Master Network Management daemon
SNMP Research SNMP Agent Resident Module Version 14.0.1.0
Copyright 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996 SNMP Research, Inc.
# Start SNMP HP-UNIX Network Management subAgent
Start SNMP MIB-2 Network Management subAgent
Start SNMP Trap Dest Network Management subAgent

Now the machine has UCD snmp installed to get the utilities, but actually using the stock HP daemon.

Check out the following dialog... Weird....

# netstat -i

lan1 1500 10.0.0.0 ignite 810105 717108
lan0* 1500 192.168.180.0 ignite.fsrbank.com 1357655 3136788

# ifconfig lan1
lan1: flags=843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>

#
# snmpwalk -c public nboch7 .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifIndex.1 = 1
# snmpwalk -c public nboch7 .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1
# snmpwalk -c public nboch7 .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1
# snmpwalk -V
UCD-snmp version: 4.2.3
#

The rrd_functions.php code tries to get the line count from an snmpwalk on the interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifIndex and when I do this manually, it seems to give results - sometimes - bizarre. Seems if I restart the daemon, it works (partially) and then stops after a try or two. Notice I have to interfaces, but the best I have been able to get was a single interface. This problem shows up on systems that are also HP V11.0 and do not have any UCD snmp installed... Just stock HP stuff....

Also, I'm also using HPUX V10.20 systems and they seem to work just fine.
