SNMP connection error

[trendal]

I've setup Cacti to graph various matrix on our ISP network. I've had good success graphing throughput, radio statistics, pings times etc, but I tried a new device lately that I can't get to even connect. It's a remote power monitor by Tycon Systems. http://tyconsystems.com/index.php/produ ... onitor-web

All I get when setting up a device is SNMP error. I'm not versed enough in Cacti (or SNMP at this point) to troubleshoot very effectively. I've worked through a bunch of other problems but this basic connection error I can't seem to figure out.

Watching on a device between the host and the cacti server I can see the request and a reply from the device. It looks like this

Code: Select all

17:29:00.676784 IP 10.1.1.18.48082 > 10.1.11.35.snmp:  C=******** GetRequest(28)  system.sysDescr.0
17:29:00.702519 IP 10.1.11.35.snmp > 10.1.1.18.48082:  C= GetResponse(33)  system.sysDescr.0.0=[noSuchObject]

So I know the basic connection details are right, IP address, port etc.

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

I've attached the mib and OID files from the Tycon manufacture site.

Don't know if you figured this out, but the device does not respond to any of the standard device info queries. It only responds to the items listed in the OID text file. Set it up as a icmp host, then create graphs for it using the OIDs and the "SNMP - Generic OID Template" as a base.

root@GSNoc:/etc# snmpget -v2c -c public 192.168.8.135 .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.17095.3.5.0
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.17095.3.5.0 = STRING: "0.0"

I just got one setup and it works ok so far. Got it graphing that result in Cacti.. Course I don't have it hooked to any voltage yet....

root@GSNoc:/etc# snmpget -v2c -c public 192.168.8.135 .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.17095.3.13.0
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.17095.3.13.0 = STRING: "36.3"
is internal temp.

You're making me happy. I had about given up on this forum. I'll study this in the am.

I'm not able to make it work yet...

Code: Select all

snmpget -v2c -c public 10.1.11.35 .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.17095.3.5.0
.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.17095.3.5.0: Unknown Object Identifier (org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.17095.3.5.0)

I'll keep studying this. Thanks for the help.

When I do an nmap scan against the device only port 80 is open. Is this an issue? I thought 161 would be open to accept snmp traffic. Is this normal?

What version of cacti are you running? I am having the same issue with tpdin-monitor-web2 at work but not the one I have at home. I am running 0.8.7g at home and 0.8.7d at work. I wondered it it had to be the version of Cacti.

Yes that is a problem as either there is no snmp daemon running or a firewall is blocking access to the port.
