Description

SSR Does Not Respond to SNMP polling Requests

snmpwalk from SNMP manager to SSR fails

"Message timed out on 161 port"

 

Solution

1. Configuring SNMP on the 128T

 

router > system > services > snmp-server branch of the configuration hierarchy.

 

 

2. Protocol Configuration

 

setting enabled to true (enables the SNMP agent on 128T). 

set the protocol to v2c (SNMPv2c is the only version of SNMP supported by 128T). 

configure the port "161" on which the SNMP agent will listen for inbound requests

 

3. Access Configuration

 

Access configuration, configured within access-control in the snmp-server element, has three components:

 

name: a unique name given to the access configuration element 

 

community: the community string to expect in requests from the requesting SNMP agent, as an authentication mechanism

 

source: the IP address of the whitelisted device

access-control 

 

e.g. config 

 

my-nms-platform

 name my-nms-platform

 community public

 source 10.128.201.2

exit

 

 

Note :- Once the snmp-server is configured, the 128T device is eligible to be polled for SNMP requests from

any source identified in an access-control configuration.
