SNMP on 7750 and missing OIDs for Network Discovery
Posted: 03 Jun 2021 09:56
Hi,
I'm in the middle of configuring solarwinds (NPM and NTA) to monitor my 7750/7210 rings.
I configured snmp v3 (and tried w/ v2c as well) and filter list succesfully, and have included 5 of the switches as a test.
Now, i noticed that solarwinds wasn't recognizing the L2/L3 relationships on the switches and wasn't building a map. I contacted Solarwind's salesman and had a session with an engineer.
Turns out, that based on this https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessC ... uage=en_US document, we need certain OIDs to be accesible to NPM.
Well, i tried snmpwalk on the 7750 and 7210, and i noticed that they don't give information on the branch 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.x.x.x (N.Topology.Snmp.Layer2) , at the same time, i received some "access denied" messages while requesting OIDs.
The question is: 7750/7210 don't have those OIDs, or there is just a restriction that i don't know put in place, to force to use NSP for link discovery? Am I missing something here?
