Baystack 350F-HD SNMP issue

[JBruyet]

Hey all, I realize this is an "older" switch but it works great except for one small issue--I'm apparently unable to get SNMP activated on it. I've gone in and configured it with the correct community name but when I run NMAP on the switch port 161 doesn't show up. If I run a MIB scan the Credentials Test passes but when I do the scan I get a "Device does not respond to SNMP queries." Is there an activation routine for SNMP on this switch? I've tried Googling for a manual but no joy there either.

Thanks,

Joe B

I used to have a whole bunch of BayStack 350s and used SNMP without issues... in addition to the SNMP community you might need to configure the IPs allowed to connect. I remember there was a menu for that but don't recall what the defaults were.

Hi anthonyanderberg, the community name is entered on the same page as the "allowed" IP addresses:

Read-Only Community String: [ community1 ]
Read-Write Community String: [ community2 ]

Trap #1 IP Address: [ 192.168.xx.xxx ]
Community String: [ community1 ]
Trap #2 IP Address: [ 192.168.xx.xxx ]
Community String: [ community2 ]
Trap #3 IP Address: [ 192.168.xx.xxx3 ]
Community String: [ community1 ]
Trap #4 IP Address: [ 192.168.xx.xxx ]
Community String: [ community2 ]

Authentication Trap: [ Enabled ]

I just now noticed the Authentication Trap option. Maybe I'll mess with that and see what happens.

Thanks,

Nope, disabling the Authentication Trap didn't help.

Thanks,

There were two 350 generations, the newer one looked like a 450 without stacking, the older older one was only about an inch tall.

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.

I had the newer 450-like units, they were nice little switches too... inexpensive and easy to use.

If you enable Authentication Traps do you get any alerts sent to the Trap#1 IPs when trying to query the switch? I usually use the net-snmp.org tools for such things - you might want to give them a try too.
