    Posted Sep 18, 2018 07:05 AM

    I am trying to set up monitoring of 3400 controller on software v 6.4.4.16.

    I have set up trap receiver in Configuratoin, SNMP with relevant detail.

    result:

    (Aruba3200) #snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 192.168.xx.yy

                                          ^

    % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

     

    (Aruba3200) #show snmp-config

                      ^

    % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

     

    I have saved configuration after adding SNMP trap and when logged back into web management, it was no longer there ??

    Is there a snmp bug in this software version?

     

    thanks

    Try "show snmp trap-queue" to see if it is sending snmp traps.

     

    Did you type "write mem" or "save configuration" after making your changes?

    thanks,

    I can see output after show snmp trap-queue, and I have saved trap receiver configuration twice using wirite mem and saving from web management, 3x so far. It just does not get saved at all.

    Also, show snmp-config returns the same error.

    Is there a bug in this software?

    "show snmp-config" is not a valid command.

     

    The valid snmp commands are here:  https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/ArubaOS_6_5_4_X_Web_Help/Web_Help_Index.htm#search-%22show%20snmp%22

    thanks,

    I was probably looking at wrong software version to get incorrect syntax.

    However the issue persits. I enter a trap receiver in web management, save it (message says - writte to flash successfully). Then check in CLI and I see no output:

    (Aruba3200) #show snmp trap-hosts

    SNMP TRAP HOSTS
    ---------------
    HOST  VERSION  SECURITY NAME  PORT  TYPE  TIMEOUT  RETRY
    ----  -------  -------------  ----  ----  -------  -----

    (Aruba3200) #

     

    Also, back in web management I see no trap receiver that I saved couple of minutes ago with success.

    How strange. I must be doing something wrong here. What is "Security string" meant to be? All I need is read community string (public) whcih I use in Zabbix, no mention of any "Security string" there to match Aruba controller trap receiver.

    You  might have a bug.  What version of ArubaOS is this?

    Release 6.4.4.16 as stated in my initial post.

    Do you have a single controller configuration, or a master-local setup?

    this is a single controller model 3400. Need to monitor cpu usage as it was randomly peaking to 99% where Internet connectivity was lost once. Need to troubleshoot what is taking up cpu resources, it showed once "user" and httpd entries, but this never revealed the culprit. Monitoring cpu on Zabbix via SNMP would show trends etc. However setting up SNMP trap receiver does not work for some reason.

    Type "show audit-trail" to see if the GUI configuration was written.

     

    If not, just configure it on the GUI:

     

    config t

    snmp-server host  <ip address>

    To configure an snmp read string:

     

    config t

    snmp-server community <community name>

    thanks,  I forgot the "config" mode in CLI , now I got the trap-host saved properly and need to test snmpwalk next.

    We have the same issue where the GUI says the string has been written to flash, but when you reload the page, the string is no longer there. CLI is not an option at the moment as previous admin was just let go and no one else appears to knows the enable p/w. (Brilliant isn't it?!?)

     

    So, how to get around GUI not really saving?

    Re-set the Enable password by using the Controller Wizard.
