Hi,

I'm new to SNMP and would appreciate some help getting SNMP access working from the Linux command line. My P8541 is working fine via web page access and I have Linux SNMP installed on the PC. I see that the default password is 'public' but can't see a username defined for SNMP access, though I think this is needed?  Also what SNMP level does the device expect? Any encryption?

I need to construct a command line following this type of template basically:

snmpget -u username -l authPriv -a MD5 -x DES -A temp_password -X temp_password remote_host 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0

I'm just not sure how t do this when I don't have a username and can't seem to get any response from my device so far.

An example command line or more information would be really appreciated, thanks

Steve

Edit to my post - after some hours trial and error this issue  is now solved, all working, though thanks to anyone who looked at the problem.  Solution is below to help any other beginner:

Linux command line:  snmpget -c public -v 1 10.0.1.40 .1.3.6.1.4.1.22626.1.5.2.1.2.0

This is the read command for sensor 1 on my system located at 10.0.1.40, I did not realise the -c option rather than username based SNMP access is needed.
My SNMP client software also needs an extra .0 appended to the MIBs specified on page 21 of the user manual.
