Snmp issue on ASA5510, empty reply on oid .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.18

[Bart Olofsen]

Hey all,

I currently have 3 ASA5510's (versions 7.2(3), 8.0(4) and 8.2(1)) which fail to reply with the description value I added on the interface.

I noticed the problem through our Cacti graphs and then checked with snmp-walk.

I've tried both v1 and v2c, no difference.

All other values are returned properly, just not the IfAlias values I'm looking for.

Does anybody have similar experience and a solution in hand?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi!

I had the same issue and ifAlias was not supported until 8.2(5). Here is a link to the config guide (just scroll to the bottom):

So, i think the only solution is to upgrade.

Hi Alexander,

I don't think this is the issue, as I have other ASA's running the same software which do return IfAlias on a snmpwalk. Thanks for your reply though :-)
