Hello,
I have been trying since I got the switch to have it so that cacti will graph bandwidth usage by port, and I have setup the communities, and user/pwd within the switch for snmp, but it continues to say "SNMP error".
Is there anything special I need to do to get things working here? This is a Dell PowerConnect 6224.
Please help!
Thanks

Not alot of information to go on, but here's a couple of basic suggestions:
1. SNMP community strings are case sensitive. Make sure they're matched exactly in Cacti and your Switch.
2. If you're using SNMP v2 or v3 on Cacti, set it back to v1 and see if you can connect after verifying step 1.
3. Have you tried snmpwalk?

Hi
do you know if this switch is running SNMP version 1, 2 or 3 ? And is it running on UDP port 161 ?
If it's running SNMP version 1 or 2, can you try this (from a Unix host, use Getif if you're on a Windows host) :
If it's running SNMP version 3, try this :
If these commands fail, maybe you have a routing / firewall problem.
You can use nmap to check this :

$ snmpwalk -v 1 -c public xx.xx.xx.xx sysName

$ snmpget -v 3 -l AuthNoPriv -u myuser -A mypassphrase xx.xx.xx.xx sysName
