Hi,
I am trying to configure SNMP monitoring for a PS6610es EqualLogic storage array.
-I go to group configuration, SNMP, and add the read only community string, as well as, the monitoring server IP under trap destinations with the same community string under access.
-I am able to ping my Equallogic from my monitoring server with no problem.
-I am able to successfully complete a nc -zuvv to port 161 from monitoring server to equallogic ip.
-I am able to successfully complete a SNMP walk with v2 ROcommunitry string from monitoring server from linux command line (snmpwalk -v2c -On -c <ROcommunity> <management IP>)
***I use the management IP address for all three tests above.
However, when I go to add the test via the application GUI, I keep getting an error SNMP agent no running on remote host, or incorrect community string. If I look in the audit log on the EqualLogic I see an entry for "SNMP packet validation failed, request received from <ip address of monitoring server>
The monitoring application is called Traverse.
I feel everything is in place for this to work, yet it is not. Do you have any recommendations on this setup? Or a way to get more details out of my error message? Please help :(
Sincerely,
Nick
