I'm trying to monitor a SPIDER Bridge with DECmcc v1.1 and the SNMP
access module V1.1.1. I have UCX installed and can do a loop command to
the Spider bridge. When I try and register the Bridge I get "No
response from entity." I have checked the spider bridge to make sure I
have access for my TCP/IP address and that the community name is
"public". I have tried using the password option on registration but
still get the same results. I have been able to register a DECstation
running Ultrix and a DECserver 90TL all O.K. Can anyone give me some
surgestions or tell me what the SNMP module is doing to try and
register the bridge. I have also had the bridge powered on and off.
This installation is a pilot for a large U.K. customer and the ability
to manage the Spider bridge is essential if they are to go ahead with
DECmcc.
Thanks
Terry.

During registration, the SNMP AM V1.1 issues an SNMP request for sysObjectID, sysDescr, and sysUpTime. According to the relevant RFC's these three object values must be returned by all agents. If this request has a successful response, then only is the agent registered. From what you are saying, everything seems to have been set up properly on the SPIDER bridge. You can try issuing a "show snmp --- all ident" command from FCL and see if the above three objects are returned properly. You may also try setting the MOM attributes UDP Timeout and UDP Retries to higher values in case you are just having a timeout problem. Good luck. Rahul. | |||||
| 2154.2 | Does ths bridge have SNMP? | TOOK::R_SPENCE | Nets don't fail me now... | Fri Jan 31 1992 17:35 | 6 |
Are you sure your bridge HAS and SNMP agent? A UCX loop command does
an IP Ping which can succeed even if there is no SNMP. Not all
TCP/IP devices have SNMP and many that do require a specific revision
to use it.

Just an update. I ran a trace and sent a copy of the SNMP packet to
Spider. They agreed it looked O.K. apart from the fact that the packet
length field was 2 bytes and they normaly only use a one byte length
field. On further investigation they agreed their software was at fault
and installed a new update to except the 2 byte length field. All is
now working.
