Just for the record and for anyone interested... You will need to make sure that any firewall between the ibm i and the snmp NMS allows all inbound traffic to ports 161 and 162 of the NMS from the ibm i. Some stateful firewalls have more limiting rules that require the request to come FROM port 161 for responses. The ibm i doesn't do that - it picks an ephemeral port above 5000.

We have fixed out problem. SolarWinds supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMP3. It worked when we dropped it back to SNMPv1. Default is SNMPv2c (with no option for v2b or plain v2)

I wasn't the person that set it up and I don't remember anything like that but I can check into it later.

I was reading one post that claimed the iSeries SNMP agent would listen on port 161 but not respond using that port. It would respond using port 5000. The manager that person was using was expecting the response on the 161 port. Do you remember any issue like that with OpenNMS?

We use OpenNMS. In fact I was playing with some new MIBs today.

Is anyone currently using a package like SolarWinds or SpiceWorks as
an SNMP Manager and have it collecting data from an iSeries SNMP
Client? We have SNMP active on the iSeries and can see QTMSNMPRCV
running and listening on port 161. Community names have been verified
between the Manager and Agent. Manager does not give any detail why
it can't contact the agent (iSeries), just reports that the test
failed. We are running V7.1. We are not using SNMP v3

Thanks
