Description

This article explains how to perform an SNMPv2 walk for a polling interface within a routing instance.

Symptoms

By default, an SNMPv2 walk performed from the SNMP server using only the community string operates solely within the default routing instance.

Solution

To access MIB objects and perform SNMP operations for routing instances, SNMPv2 clients must encode the routing instance name within the community string of their SNMP requests. The format is as follows:

routing-instance@community

 

Below is an example of an SNMPv2 walk command when polling an interface for a specific routing instance:

snmpwalk -v 2c -c default@juniper 10.10.10.1 system
