SNMP with CatOS

[furrow.s]

I have a dos command-line utility called wrnet that allows me to instruct a Cisco router or switch to copy it's running config to a TFTP server via SNMP. Any IOS related products seem to work just fine, but whenever I attempt to use this utility on a CatOS switch it comes back with a "community string error". I have the read community set to our normal read only community, and the read-write and read-write-all are both set to our read-write community string. Are there any commands that I might be missing? I also set my PC up as an SNMP trap receiver with the read-write string but still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Do you have snmp ip permit enabled? IP Permit limits the devices that can send SNMP traffic to the switch. Do a "show ip permit" to see.

Ok....I did a show ip permit and saw that my IP address was not listed. I have since added my IP address in the Permit list for SNMP and still get the same result. In my utility it says "Community String error". But I know that I have the same community strings in the switch and the application. Any other ideas?

Thanks for the response!

Never used wrnet tool and have no idea what kind of mibs it uses to do snmpset. It could be only for IOS based routers and switches.

For CatOS based devices, try to use the following if you have a typical snmp tool such as UCD NET-SNMP:

Try using Ethereal for a capture to see where exactly it's failing.
