5028.0. "HP / SNMP RMON problem" by MSAM03::YEOKJOO () Mon May 10 1993 10:00

  My customer has problem with SNMP RMON on DECMCC.
  
  They have a HP LANProbe II/SNMP running SNMP RMON. According to HP, their 
  Lanprobe II implemented all the 9 features of SNMP RMON MIB (segment 
  statistics, History, Host Table, Host top N, Traffic Matrix, Filters, 
  Packet Capture, Alarms, Events, Log, Trap). What they have done first is to 
  compile & load the RMON_STD_MIBDEF.TXT as supplied on the DECMCC. They found 
  that they cannot get back any information from the Probe. Next,  HP sent 
  them a copy of the MIBDEF file for the Probe. They compiled and loaded (no 
  error encountered) and again,Couldn't get back any information from the 
  probe. However, when monitored SNMP statistics on the Probe, the 
  the value from "Rcvd unknown oper err pkts" is equivalent to the 
  number of queries made on the LanProbe; or the percent value for "Rcvd 
  unknown oper err pkt percent" is always 100%.

  What could be the problem ? How shall I proceed from here ?


  Thanks in advance  
  Joo

	Seems like the HP LANProbe hasn't been configured properly. If you can get MIB II attributes but not the RMON groups, then you can be pretty much sure that is the problem. BTW, both the standard and experimental RMON mibs are pre-loaded in the DECmcc dictionary. If you reload RMON into the dictionary you have the possibility of removing the PA RMON statistical attributes that are also pre-loaded in the dictionary. (It all depends on whether you chose the AUGMENT or REPLACE option when you ran MCC_TCPIP_MTU.COM). Rahul.
5028.2	Still the same after REPLACED	MSAM03::YEOKJOO	`Thu May 13 1993 10:33`	38
	Hi, I received the following mail from my customer. Seems like he reloaded the RMON MIB and still having the same problem. Any advice ? Thanks, Joo ********************************************************** I used the Replace Option when I reload RMON MIB. I have also reloaded the PA FM as follows: MCC> test mcc 0 pa MCC 0 PA AT 12-MAY-1993 07:49:14 Test Successful MCC> enroll mcc_pa_fm %MCC-I-ENRDUPLENTRY, enrollment successful; duplicate entries found and replaced MCC> test mcc 0 pa MCC 0 PA AT 12-MAY-1993 08:00:59 Test Successful MCC> However, the HP LANProbe RMON still doesn't move. Can you kindly advise me what have I done wrong and how to correct it. *********************************************************

5028.4	HP LanProbe Configuration	MSAM03::YEOKJOO	`Mon May 17 1993 07:11`	23
	Hi, Anybody who can help the customer of mine, to configure the HP LanProbe ? He still won't let me get off the hook even though I asked him to check with HP.He also asking if we need to set anything in order to pass the authentication features of Lanprobe. Following are the portions of the mail received from him. ********************** In the HP LANProbe II documentation, I found the following under the "SNMP RMON MIB Firmware". The HP LanProbe II/SNMP implements all nine groups of RFC1271. The HP4995A probe also contains an enterprise specific MIB which allows for configuration and administration of the probe. It provides enhanced authentication features as well as specification of the destination of traps. ********************** Thanks in advance, Joo

	Weren't there any documents about setup and configuration of the LANProbe ? Normally, you would need to set up the community before your management station can query the agent. rb.
