SNMPv3 Brocade

[riccardo1981]

Hi all,

i'm trying to discover a brocade ( 7800 model). If I use SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 I can discover it but I don't see the fcip port graphics. Brocade techical says that the only method to create the graphics is to use SNMPv3 but if i try discover the brocade by SNMPv3 I have always a snmp error.
The parameters are correct: snmp user, auth, password ( really there isn't any passoword set) but there is no way to resolve this problem..

So have we got some solution ?

Cacti version is 0.8.7d

Thanks in advance
Riccardo

Please try first to snmpwalk the device from command line only. If you don't get a response, it's not cacti's fault but e.g. a mistake on any parameter given.
Next, please try to configure cacti with same parameter set.

Hi,

I try the snmpwalk and I have a response by Brocade... Now what can I do ?

[gandalf]

May you please show us the data? Please change all credentials used but leave OIDs in place, please.

I am running into the same problem. Cacti version 0.8.7e. Snmpwalk is fine, but with Cacti I get an SNMP error. What kind of data do you need to investigate this?

Below is the output of SNMPwalk, and attached is a screenshot of the Cacti device page.

I can also send you the tcpdump captures of snmp traffic during an snmpwalk and during a page reload of the device page. I'd rather not post those captures on a public forum.

Code: Select all

$ snmpwalk -v 3 -u snmpuser1 -A XXXXXXXXX 1.1.1.1 -n VF:112 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Fibre Channel Switch SSFCBR04
SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.1588.2.1.1.66
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (4294967196) 497 days, 2:27:51.96
SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0 = STRING: Storage team
SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: SSFCBR04PBR
SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 = STRING: DC
SNMPv2-MIB::sysServices.0 = INTEGER: 79

Please change the ":" in the context to sth different; just as a test. We are stripping some characters out of strings for security reasons ...

I don't have access to the brocade switches myself, so I can't change the context there. However, I can leave it empty. Same result: I do get an answer from snmpwalk; I get an SNMP error in cacti
