Timeout: No Response from - Trying to SNMPWALK a Juniper Router/Switch with Routing-Instances Configured

Problem:

I was trying to snmpwalk a juniper switch (EX4500) that has routing instance configured!
The SNMP client was only reachable from a specific routing instance on the switch. However, i could successfully ping the switch OAM IP from the snmp client.

For example:

Ping from the snmp client is OK:

SNMP CLIENT:~ # ping 10.0.1.170
PING 10.0.1.170 (10.0.1.170) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.0.1.170: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=1.13 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.1.170: icmp_seq=2 ttl=63 time=1.12 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.1.170: icmp_seq=3 ttl=63 time=1.43 ms

Ping from the switch in the Global routing instance is NOT OK:

> ping 10.0.43.18
PING 10.0.43.18 (10.0.43.18): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: No route to host
ping: sendto: No route to host

Ping from the switch in VR-OAM routing instance is OK:

> ping routing-instance VR-OAM 10.0.43.18
PING 10.0.43.18 (10.0.43.18): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.0.43.18: icmp_seq=0 ttl=63 time=1.235 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.43.18: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=1.504 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.43.18: icmp_seq=2 ttl=63 time=1.878 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.43.18: icmp_seq=3 ttl=63 time=1.215 ms

And whenever i would run snmpwalk from my snmp server, i would get the message below:

SNMP CLIENT:~ # snmpwalk -v2c -c public 10.0.1.170
Timeout: No Response from 10.0.1.170

Solution:

In order to access MIB objects and perform SNMP operations for the routing-instances, SNMP v1 and v2c clients need to encode the routing-instance name in the community string in their SNMP requests.

The format is:

snmpwalk -v2c -c routing-instance-name@public x.x.x.x

Example:

SNMP CLIENT:~ # snmpwalk -v2c -c VR-OAM@public 10.0.1.170

SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: afrsite1epcrtr01_switch

SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2636.1.1.1.2.44

DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (644286429) 74 days, 13:41:04.29

SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0 = STRING:

SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: VR-OAM@EPC_RTR01

SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 = STRING:

SNMPv2-MIB::sysServices.0 = INTEGER: 6

IF-MIB::ifNumber.0 = INTEGER: 272

IF-MIB::ifIndex.6 = INTEGER: 6

Problem Solved :-)

Solution:

Make sure the server IP where you are running the snmpwalk command from has been added as an snmp client and it's IP allowed on the router/switch that you are trying to query.

for my case am trying to query a juniper switch, so i added the line below:

# set snmp community public clients 10.0.43.18/32

# commit

configuration check succeeds

commit complete

Trying the snmpwalk command again: problem solved

Server1:~ # snmpwalk -v2c -c public 10.0.46.149

SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Vodafone UG Border Gateway Router 01

SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2636.1.1.1.2.43

SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: VODAFONEUG-BGW-01

SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 = STRING: Kololo, 1 Hill Drive, Kampala

SNMPv2-MIB::sysServices.0 = INTEGER: 6

Adding Static DNS - LINUX OpenSUSE 13.2 error "ping:unknown host yahoo.com"

Problem:

Ping a domain name for example yahoo.com from the CLI and it returns the message below:

Server1:~ # ping yahoo.com
ping: unknown host yahoo.com

Server1:~ # cat /etc/*release
openSUSE 13.2 (x86_64)
VERSION = 13.2
CODENAME = Harlequin
# /etc/SuSE-release is deprecated and will be removed in the future, use /etc/os-release instead
NAME=openSUSE
VERSION="13.2 (Harlequin)"
VERSION_ID="13.2"
PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE 13.2 (Harlequin) (x86_64)"

CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:opensuse:opensuse:13.2"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.opensuse.org"
HOME_URL="https://opensuse.org/"

ID_LIKE="suse"

Solution:

This means that my server has no DNS set to resolve host names!

1. open YAST

Server1:~ # yast

2. Use up/down arrow keys to select "Network Devices"
3. Use right arrow key to select "Network Settings" and press Enter Key
4. Hit the "Tab" key once to highlight "Overview" on the top menu

5. Now use the right arrow key on your keyboard to select "Hostname/DNS"
6. Use the TAB key to navigate through and modify the DNS config according to your DNS servers for your network.

7. Use TAB to navigate to "OK" and hit Enter
8. Quit
9. Now test again:

Server1:~ # ping yahoo.com
PING yahoo.com (206.190.36.45) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from ir1.fp.vip.gq1.yahoo.com (206.190.36.45): icmp_seq=1 ttl=45 time=343 ms
