hmm, I'm sorry for not being totally clear. I know how the snmpwalk works. but the problem is, if I snmpwalk the cisco switch, I get no response, although the snmp is enabled.

The reason is that I have no read access to the snmp, because I have tried to use IP permit to give myself access.

so I searched the internet for help to update the snmp access list, like in an snmpd.conf on a net-snmp host, so that another machine has access to it.

conclusion is that I don't know how to do it in CatOS I guess, because a lot cli lines I have found started with "snmp-server" those do not work on this switch.

I need something like set snmp access or something, just so I can do an snmpwalk from a host to the switch :)

Thx in advance.

You have to configure a "permit list " for snmp on a catos box . This should help .

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/catos/5.x/configuration/guide/ip_perm.html

done that one also. I have tried the "set snmp access" also by now, still doesn't work.

Perhaps I will have to reformulate my entire question to how do I set up snmp on a cisco, so that another host can snmpwalk to it (skipping the part of set snmp enable :p )

thx in advance

If you currently have "no" permit list configured and you a a valid configured read or RW string then there should be no restrictions on accessing the snmp data with a snmpwalk. Otherwise you may have to post config so that we can see whats in there.

This is the result from show snmp

ip permit is also set.
