Can't use Site Manager

[mufka]

I'm trying to use Site Manager to talk to a Passport 2430. When I try to connect, I get "Unable to reach router".
Then it says that the SNMP agent is not responding.

If I do an 'show snmp community' at the router, it shows that the manager address is 0.0.0.0 but read/write is disabled. How do I enable it?

Have you given the router an IP address

I believe the issue is that I don't have a new enough version of Site Manager.

It would seem that you did not configure snmp parameters during the initial config process.
To configure snmp parameters use bcc from the console port on the router as follows:-

box# back
box# exit
bcc> config
box# ip
ip# snmp
snmp# community private
community/private# manager <ip address manager station>


Back out to the bcc prompt and save changes.

The router must also have an ip address configured on at least one interface to allow communication between it and site manager station.

All of these parameters can be configured using the install.bat script.

What version of Site Manager and router code are you running.

The site manager I have is 7.2 and the router code is 14.2. I just need to get the new Site Manager.

Only thing to do is find somebody with a ne version that will let you have a copy.
Nortel don't distribute for free any longer.

Try a search on

http://www.astalavista.box.sk

you may find a copy there, but make sure that you get ver 14.0 minimum. If you need help with using the BCC to configure this box let me know.

No one read his message! He stated that the comm string read/write was disabled , not that he couldnt connect.

box# back
box# exit
bcc> config
box# ip
ip# snmp
snmp# community private
community/private# manager <ip address manager station>

You forgot this...
access read
or access read-write

Lets say your PC's IP address is 192.168.1.2/24 and the router is 192.168.1.1/24 use this
snmp# community private
private# manager 192.168.1.2
manager...# access read-write
manager...# back
community public
public# manager 192.168.1.2
manager...# access read
manager...#back

It should work, if the site manager version is not the same for the software code on the router you will still communicate with the router, just the options offered in the router code would be able to be set with site manager.

Good luck.

Still doesn't help if the site manager is v7 and his router software is 14.2
It is backward compatible not forward compatible.

Actually I think it will work if you just ignore the warnings. However you'll probably only end up with a corrupted MIB, and nobody want that!

Only use one version of site [m|d]amager on a router, and never juggel between.
