Hey guys,

I am having an issue trying to make a .cfg file for our as/400 system.
The server is already configured and set up for SNMP and has the
community set as public however, when I attempt to compile a .cfg
file, it states that it cannot find it. Example is below, any insight
would be appreciated.

C:\mrtg\bin>perl cfgmaker pub...@168.1.1.250 --global "WorkDir: C:
\Raisin\Nut\Br
an\Inetpub\wwwroot\MRTG\AS400" --output as400.cfg
SNMP Error:
receiving response PDU: Unknown error
SNMPv1_Session (remote host: "168.1.1.250" [168.1.1.250].161)

Is it setup to respond to SNMP v1 requests? Try walking it with

snmpwalk -c public -v1 168.1.1.250

or v2c

snmpwalk -c public -v2c 168.1.1.250

I've never had the priveledge of playing with a AS/400 of any kind,
sorry... snmpwalk is a command to run at the CLI like ls, cp, rm, ect.
Try running

snmpwalk -c public -v2c 168.1.1.250 ssCpuRawUser

and see if you get anything back from it. If you do you can use
ssCpuRawUser and ssCpuRawNice for CPU graphs.
