Hi there.

I have a 2820 that I wish to monitor from an external server using SNMP

Telnetting in shows the following

SNMP Agent is [Enable].

Change your SNMP strings to something that's a bit harder to guess than the standard ones :shock:

To check snmp download getif http://www.wtcs.org/snmp4tpc/getif.htm and try and query the WAN interface.

Well as this is still in testing and I AM publishing configs to the internet, I think that its probably right to just use the defaults. :)

To clarify, from a host on the Inside (LAN) of the router I cannot SNMP,WALK (using the standard Linux SNMP toolset) to either the LAN or WAN interfaces, both of which respond to PING/ICMP from inside.

From outside of the network (from the Amazon Cloud to be exact) is the same case, well limited to the WAN interface of course.

UPDATE: Tried GetIF now as well, still no luck.

I have three 2820's that I can not connect to using PTRG but I know the routers are ok as I have 5 others at the same site which I can monitor.

What Firmware levels do you have?

If the 5 that work are on one then maybe there is a level of firmware that SNMP is broken in
