Troubleshooting
What problem are you having?
-
My SNMP agent is not functioning.
-
My SNMP management system keeps timing out while querying the WINS server.
My SNMP agent is not functioning.
Cause: An unknown network or SNMP problem.
Solution: SNMP error handling is integrated with Event Viewer. Use Event Viewer if you suspect there is a problem with the SNMP service. You can configure a View filter to display only SNMP messages.
See also: Event Viewer.
My SNMP management system keeps timing out while querying the WINS server.
Cause: The SNMP time-out period is too short or the WINS server is off-line or unreachable.
Solution: Increase the SNMP time-out period on the SNMP management system. If that does not work contact your system administrator to check the WINS server.
