Paessler SNMP Tester
Simple Debugging Tool for Monitoring Configurations that use SNMP
With SNMP Tester you can run simple SNMP requests against a device in your network. This test program is based on the SNMP technologies built into PRTG Network Monitor.
The idea of this program is to have a tool that enables the user to debug SNMP activities in order to find communication and/or data problems in SNMP monitoring configurations. If the SNMP connection works with this test program it will also work with PRTG.
Instructions:
- Download the ZIP file (see link below), unzip all files into
a folder of your choice and run the
snmptest.exe file from the ZIP file
- Enter the IP address of your device and select the SNMP port and
the SNMP community string
- Select the SNMP Version between
- V1 (standard and most common)
- V2c (adds support for 64 bit counters)
- V3 (adds support for authentication and encryption)
- For SNMP V3 also enter the authentication data
- Select a request type:
- 32 bit Traffic Counter: Reads the traffic counter of a port according
to the MIB2 OID
- 64 bit Traffic Counter: for SNMP V2c and V3 only
- Custom OID: Enter a custom OID value to access any OID value on the device
- Read Device Uptime: Reads the standard system uptime value from the device
- Scan Available Interfaces: Tries to enumerate all interfaces (ports) of the device
- Scan Available OIDs from OIDLOB: Load an OIDLIB file (created from a SNMP MIB file using our MIB Importer Tool) and tests all OIDs from the lib file
- In some cases it may be necessary to select a specific "Local IP" for the SNMP request
(usually only necessary for multi homed systems)
- Click on "Run Test" to start the testing proces. Check "Repeat Every" to run the test continously.
