it does not work wirth 3750 and IOS 12.2(25)SE.

I also found an info about the sysReset object at:

http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?local=en&translate=Translate&objectInput=sysReset

but the mib of 3750 and IOS 12.2(25)SE does not include the sysReset Object.

very strange

[sarbjeet-dhillon]

Have you got the latest CISCO-STACK-MIB installed?

[sthon-dbsys]

I ever thought that the mib is implemented in the IOS.

Do I have to install it manually on the switch ???

[sarbjeet-dhillon]

Sorry I meant on the latform that you are running snmpwalk on.

I just tried to reload a cat3750 running 12.2(25)SEB2 as documented in: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk362/technologies_q_and_a_item09186a00800c263d.shtml#qa4

It worked once I put the snmp-server system-shutdown in the config.

Here are the steps I performed:

> snmpwalk -c public 14.32.100.13 sysDescr

SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Cisco IOS Software, C3750 Software (C3750-IPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.2(25)SEB2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

thx a lot, the missing "snmp-server system-shutdown" was the reason I got in Problems.

with configured "snmp-server system-shutdown" all works fine.

thx a lot

I am glad to hear it.
