Network Management

Hi Everyone,

I am deploying Zabbix as our SNMP server for our network. The SonicWall firewall(SNMP-agent) and Windows servers(Zabbix-agent) are able to establish a connection, but the Aruba switches are not. The community string matches on both sides, and the IP addresses are correct. However, on the Zabbix front-end, it shows that the connection has timed out. Snmpwalk also returned the same result.

Here is the command I entered on the Aruba Switch 2930F:

snmp-server enable

snmp-server host  "10.0.0.X"community "test" trap-level not-info

snmp-server trap-source "10.0.0.X" community "test" trap-level not-info

Here is the configuration for the snmp-server "test"

SNMP community MIB view: manager, write access: unrestricted. 

The IP address of the switch I used is the management vlan ip address, port 161.

Did I miss any? I also have the same issue with 6300. I used Generic SNMP template for the Aruba switch in the Zabbix. Just try to establish connection first, not adding any OIDs in the MIB yet. 

Thanks in advanced! 

Hi Desong,

Did you ever get this to work?

We recently just moved to Aruba switches / APs, and now we are trying to put the switches in Zabbix. Its been tricky to find templates..

Thank you.

Hi @desong1011

You mentioned that you use management IP address. I assume that this IP address is assigned to management interface.

You need to enable snmp agnet in mgmt vrf for CX (6200) switches.

 snmp-server vrf mgmt

For ArubaOS-S (2930) try to define source address for snmp-agent.

snmp-server response-source <mgmt ip>
snmp-server trap-source <mgmt ip>

Best, Gorazd
