Monitoring Link Stats using F5-BIGIP-GLOBAL-MIB

I have a set of link controllers running software version 9.3.0 and I want to monitor the link stats using SNMP. I have the mib files loaded in my SNMP application and when I try to get gtmLinkStatRate from within F5-BIGIP-GLOBAL-MIB, but it always responds with "Request failed or timed out. No error". I tried a different SNMP application to get gtmLinkStatRate, and it failed as well. Do the link controllers support getting this SNMP OID? I basically want to get bandwidth usage in Mbps for my two ISP links.

 

 

Thanks

    Check the SNMP's community string and access list setting on the LC and make sure firewall is not blocking SNMP traffic.

     

     

    Run this command from the LC:

     

    snmpwalk -v2c -c localhost gtmLinkStatRate

     

    or

     

    snmpwalk -v2c -c localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.3.5.3.3.1.2

     

     

    If it worked, try it from the managing server, e.g.

     

    snmpwalk -v2c -c gtmLinkStatRate

     

     

    If it didn't work, check the community string, access list or firewall.
