Re: [nv-l] Web Console Mib Browser Timeout Problems

[Milton.W.Bridges@kp.org]

Found the problem!  The SNMP Address (Object Properties) wasn't set for the management station.  For some reason it was set to 0.0.0.0 instead of the desired IP Address.  Should this field have been set automatically?  Maybe something happened during my upgrade to 7.1.3....

Thanks

Are you able to querry the host directly from the NetView box with snmpwalk
(snmpwalk NameOfYourNetViewBox)?  YES  (localhost, hostname, and IP work just fine)

If so, is your snmpserver running (ovstatus snmpserver)?  YES

If so, what's about the Java MIB browser started from the NetView box
(/usr/OV/bin/mibbrowser.sh)?  Starts Just Fine

Any hints in /usr/OV/logs/snmpserver.log ?  Nothing

Note: /var/adm/messages:        

Sep 18 09:12:56 tivolinv /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx: [ID 122788 daemon.error] error while receiving a pdu from tivolinv.64316: The message has a wrong version (1)

Note:  It's definitely not the Solaris SNMP Agent.  I am able to walk the mib from my windows workstation using a 3rd party mib browser.  This problem seems to be related to the Web Console Mib Browser only.  Are there any configuration issues I might be missing?

Thanks

The answer to your question is: No.
The web client MIB browser isn't using SNMP at all.
The communication is as follows:
- HTTP requests between MIB Browser and Webserver (servlet).
- RMI between webserver and snmpserver
- SNMP requests between snmpserver and the choosen host.

Are you able to querry the host directly from the NetView box with snmpwalk
(snmpwalk NameOfYourNetViewBox)?
If so, is your snmpserver running (ovstatus snmpserver)?
If so, what's about the Java MIB browser started from the NetView box
(/usr/OV/bin/mibbrowser.sh)?
Any hints in /usr/OV/logs/snmpserver.log ?

I have NetView 7.1.3 running on a Solaris 2.8 Server, and am having
problems running the Web Console Mib Browser from a Windows 2000
Workstation.  Everything seems to be running well, with the exception of
the mib browser.  I am unable to walk or retrieve mib data.  I am
constantly getting a time-out error.  I have verified that my
hostname/community string combination are correct.

In a nutshell:  I am able to retrieve mib data regarding the NetView Server
from the NetView Server, but am unable to query the NetView server from the
Web Console (Windows 2000 workstation).

Question:  Do I need to update the snmpdx agent with hostname information
of my Windows 2000 workstation?
                    What am I overlooking

Thanks
