Collecting SNMP Walk Output

You can collect SNMP walk output for a network device or PDU right from the GUI. Then, you can download the output and send it to us for further troubleshooting.

From the Appliance Manager, go to Application > Generate SNMP Output.

If this is not a new device, select the No: Simple walk option.

Alternative SNMP Walk Generation

If there is an issue, the network is not reachable, or you simply prefer using the terminal, you can instead run the following from any machine that has 'snmpwalk' installed for SNMP v2:

snmpbulkwalk -Cc -ObentU -v2c -c COMMUNITY DEVICE > output_file_name
snmpbulkwalk -ObentU -v 2c -c COMMUNITY DEVICE .1.3.6.1.4.1 >> output_file_name

You can use the following for any system using SNMP v3:

snmpbulkwalk -Cc -ObentU -v 3 -u user_name -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A auth_pass DEVICE > output_file_name
snmpbulkwalk -Cc -ObentU -v 3 -u user_name -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A auth_pass DEVICE .1.3.6.1.4.1 >> output_file_name
