Cisco ASA Not Responding to SNMP

[danbowencisco]

Hi All,

I have a Cisco ASA that I am trying to discover with SNMP (Solar Winds). The Solarwinds server can ping the ASA on the E1 interface (on the same network as the server), yet it cannot be discovered using SNMP, it fails every time.

This is the config I have for the ASA.

interface GigabitEthernet0/0.224

description NMS

vlan 224

nameif NMS

security-level 100

ip address 10.11.120.225 255.255.255.240

snmp-server host NMS 10.11.120.235 community *****

no snmp-server location

no snmp-server contact

snmp-server community *****

snmp-server enable traps snmp authentication linkup linkdown coldstart

The server trying to discover the ASA is 10.11.120.235 and the community string is public.

Also, I do not know how you add a RW string to a Cisco ASA - it seems to only let you add a single string.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Daniel,

The ASA supports only SNMP read-only access. SNMP write access is not allowed, so you cannot make changes with SNMP.

Have you tried to manualy pool the ASA using snmpget or some other tools. One issue might be the community used by Solarwinds.
