you all,
this is netview 6.01 on aix 4.3.3, problems with community names
during node discovery, using ip wildcards in ovsnmp.conf:
communityNames.conf is empty
ovsnmp.conf (configured via gui) is like:
10.10.10.*:new_community ... # new range entry
....
*.*.*.*:default_community ... # global default setting
the sequence of the entries is OK, and now trying to discover my node
10.10.10.1:
while trying to discover my new nodes, I can see all outgoing tcp requests
(tcpdump)
to the new node with the wrong community string "default_community" instead of
'new_community'. getting authenticationFailure traps from my node and it
appears as isSNMP=False on the map ...
snmpwalk host1 system --> OK !
xnmsnmpconf -resolve hostname--> OK !
xnmsnmpconf -resolve 10.10.10.1--> OK !
cleared cache / did an ovstop / ovstart -> problem persists
setting single ip address (10.10.10.1) in ovsnmp.conf (via gui) -> problem
persists
setting hostname instead of ip address, in ovsnmp.conf -->> OK !!
new_community is used ?!?
(name resolution in both ways OK)
any ideas will be greatly appreciated !!
