Can you do a simple snmpwalk to the device to double-check that SNMP is running and configured correctly? I've run into that.

I got th econfig via cfgmaker, when I run cfgmaker, I get a config for each port on the switch. Not only this, but all ports that don't exist. How the PowerConnect switches work is that you can stack up to I think 5. When they are stacked and you try snmp, it will respond back with all *possible* ports. So if you only have two, you will have ports for all 5 in the config, which means you will have a lot of cleaning up. The port I used for an example is an active port so I should see no reason for it to work. The cfgmaker line I used is similar to that of what I used on the other switch that is working as well as all other devices. ** /usr/bin/cfgmaker --ifref=descr --global 'WorkDir: /home/mrtg/html' --global 'Options[_]: bits,growright' --output /home/mrtg/cfg/mrtg.test.cfg [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** Doing this gives me all ports and all are remarked out, so I have to go through the list and unremark the ones that are actually live. Some of these ports are assigned to other VLANS, but the system I am running the cfgmaker has access to all VLANS, this wouldn't possibly be the problem would it? That is the only other thing that I can think of. I can reach anything plugged into each of these ports so I should be able to get data from these ports, or is my theory all wet? --Aaron -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anson Rinesmith Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 12:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [mrtg] Re: mrtg frustrations When using the interface number, that is given by default when running cfgmaker, the syntax 2:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: is correct IF there is an interface 2 AND it is active on the device. That is not always the case. For instance I have a switch with slots for GIG uplinks, that are my interfaces 1 & 2, so to monitor the ETHERNET ports, I have to watch 3-26, not 1-24. Did you get the cfg file by running cfgmaker or did you create it by hand? If you did it by hand, try running cfgmaker [EMAIL PROTECTED] and see if that gives you the interfaces you are looking for. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Aaron Clasby Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 12:48 PM To: Ruttenberg, Tanya; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [mrtg] Re: mrtg frustrations Now I am confused.
