Quick minimal SNMP implementation

what are you trying to accomplish? You can add your snmp agent via the snmp agent configuration tab in the gui or from the cli if you want to do so for starters. To add more alerts or get customized traps you can look at the /etc/alertd/alert.conf file.

Hello Navfett. Agent and configuration are defined correctly via the GUI. But software like LanSpy or CA-Unicenter don't get information reading the device. Is there something else to do before a SNMP-request is honoured? Huub.

so you have your config section and trap section completed in the snmp tab? Are you able to snmpwalk the device from your LanSpy device? you should be able to walk them, if not than would need to troubleshoot that out. I would first check to make sure you have a route to your SNMP agent, snm config is completed. than perform a walk from the agent to ensure you can get the traffic. if that doesnt work than look at the path/flow to rule out ACLs, firewalls that might need to allow the flow through.

If you are querying a self-ip rather than the management interface you will need to "Allow" the correct ports on the interface.

I'm looking deeper into it now. It seems that the company which installed the BIG IP's didn't make a /etc/snmpd.conf, which I understand needs to be there ... :-( Somebody's got a simple example? Is there anything else that needs to be done? TIA, Huub.

Seems to work as designed by the third party ... They shall have to change this. Case closed, thanks!
