4109.0. "SNMP on Ultrix, does it work ???" by MLNCSC::BARILARO () Wed Nov 18 1992 13:11

Hi,

    	MCC bms v1.2
    	VMS 5.5
    
	I tried to have back SNMP data from some Ultrix nodes with SNMP
    	agent installed and active (snmpd deamon present), I was 
	able to had "char" and "counters" for the interfaces, protocols
	(IP, UDP, etc.etc.) but I was (and I'm still) unable to have 
	data for the SNMP protocol, I receive back always 
	" -- Attribute Not Gettable" except for the 
	"CounterCreationTime = 11-NOV-1992 18:20:01.74" when I try
	a "Show snmp my_node SNMP all counter".

    	I've also another problem (still on Ultrix nodes), When I try
    	to have back counters from their interfaces the counter
    	"IfOutDiscards" is always too a " -- Attribute Not Gettable",
    	therefore some interface's statistics are not available
    	with message "Attribute not available".
    
    	Does someone know if SNMP agent implemented on Ultrix node has
    	some problems ???
    
	Could someone help me ??????

					Thanks in advance
					Ciao 	Luciano

	That's because the Ultrix stations implement MIB I. The SNMP group
	was a new addition in MIB II.

    	Hi!  Thank you for the answer.
    	
    	Just another question (the second part of the original question),
    do you know why on the interface counter "InOutDiscards" I obtain
    always "attribute not gettable". Infact, in the ULTRIX documentation
    "Networking Distributed System Services - Appendix B", there isn't
    this counter. Is this one another counter implemented only on MIB II?
    
    

	ifOutDiscards is a MIB I variable, so it should be supported by the
	Ultrix stations. I don't know why you are seeing "Attribute Not Gettable"
	for this particular attribute. If it makes you feel any better, I see
	the same behaviour from our Ultrix stations down here.
