[Fusioninventory-user] Really, really, i don't understand how SNMP works...

[Marco Gaiarin]

I'm still busy on trying to deploy FusionInventory on my organization,
but still i'm stopped on some trouble, the big one is SNMP.

I've setup a test environment (GLPI 0.80.7, FI 0.80+1.4, debian lenny)
and i'm trying to setup SNMP, using as test targets a printer and a
switch. Both works:

 meti:~# snmpwalk -v 2c -c public rezza | head
 SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: ProCurve J9085A Switch 2610-24, revision R.11.60, ROM R.10.06 (/sw/code/build/nemo(R_ndx))
 SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.7.11.76
 DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (422942585) 48 days, 22:50:25.85
 [...]

 meti:~# snmpwalk -v 2c -c public hpclj4550 | head
 SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: HP ETHERNET MULTI-ENVIRONMENT,ROM L.21.21,JETDIRECT,JD84,EEPROM L.21.22,CIDATE 07/06/2001
 SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11.2.3.9.1
 DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (19365160) 2 days, 5:47:31.60
 [...]


I've tried to setup a ''net discovery'', but really i've not found a
way to do so: the manual say little or nothing, or at least i don't
understand it.

The i've tried to associate OID and other information to the switch and
printer, eg on the 'FusInv SNMP' page, i setup the 'SNMP models' and
the 'SNMP authentication' (as 'Public community v2c'), then i push
'Update' but nothing happen.


What i'm missing? Really i don't understand how make SNMP work...
please help me... Thanks.
