I've recreated the community strings, currently there are no special characters, I reset the controller and set it up with a basic config and tried using the default private community string, no joy.

"When you try to add the wlc to WCS, you do not change the admin and password field."

I'm not too sure what you mean here I'm afraid

Do you mean in SNMP V3? I'm using SNMP V2

My mistake... that was the location appliance. On WCS, just verify the version you are using and the community string. On the WLC under the community string, remover the Read Only, Make sure the Read Write is enabled and set the network to 0.0.0.0 or the ip of the wcs server. don't keep trying it if it fails, move out of that screen and go back into the screen. That seems to of worked for me.

Ah right, no worries.

The versions are:

Model: 4404

Software: 4.2.130.0

WCS Version: 4.0.96.0

Type: Basic

There is another 4402 which also won't connect running 4.2.65.0 but I'm mainly leaving that alone as it is production.

The community string is definitely read/write, I tried read only if that would help, no luck there though. I've tried with 0.0.0.0 catch all and with the specific IP address. There is no filtering going on between the vlans, I've used getif to do an snmp query and it has no problems there. No luck with moving out of the screen, I've even gone as far as changing PCs.

Thanks once again.

Try to restart WCS and see if the service is running. You don't have windows FW running that might be blocking snmp?

Restarted the WCS, actually went as far as reinstalling the software, to no avail. No Windows FW turned on. I didn't do the SNMP query from the server, will do that shortly.

Done, and the SNMP query goes through fine. Gah.

Well at least you got it working. Now just make sure you perform a backup just in case you have to reinstlall WCS.

Ooops, sorry, it's still not working.

You have a license installed on the WCS? Can you do a getif from the wcs server?

Yes, licence installed and getif works fine from the server.

Cheers

Cheers, will do, I'll let you know the result.
