How to configure snmp on a cisco 2900 switch

krfitzgerald over 11 years ago

I'm trying to add a cisco 2900 to solarwinds. I have created a RO community string but the test still fails in solarwinds when I try to add the switch. What else do I need to do? I'm a little new to cisco conifgs.

Have you created a host configuration on the 2900 that points to the PM server?

I tried entering this:
User Access Verification
Password:
switch>enable
Password:
INTSW#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)#snmp-server community "string" ro
switch(config)#snmp-server enable traps
switch(config)#snmp-server host x.x.x.x version 2c "string"
switch(config)#
whats the PM?

Go to Manage Nodes, then click on Add Node, and you will get this screen:
Put your IP address where the red arrow is pointing to, and click on the Test button where the green arrow is. If you don't get a successful message, then you need to check the connectivity between your Orion server and your device.

Then check your firewall settings and/or access lists on the device.

Before you do that, try this: go to the SolarWinds server. Run "c:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\snmpwalk.exe". Put in your IP address, then click Scan. Do you get any results?
