I am trying out your software and I am having some issues setting up SNMP bandwidth monitoring. I have set it up on 2 other routers of mine and it works really well but I am having issues with 2 others and I am getting these stats on the router (same model as the others):

Received SNMP Packets: 65 Bad Community Names: 40 Bad Community Uses: 25 Bad Versions: 0 Silent Drops: 0 Proxy Drops: 0 ASN Parse Errors: 65

can anyone help me set up this snmp monitoring on the Router?

Hello,

which vendor/type are your routers? Is there any difference between the two were the SNMP (Traffic?) Monitoring is working and the other two? Firmware? Settings?

best regards

Not working sites: Adtran NetVanta 3200 - firmware 9950860-2a1302.biz (13.02.00.E) Adtran NetVanta 3200 - firmware 9950860-2a1502.biz (15.02.00.E)

It is the same SNMP traffic - just simple monitoring of the bandwidth on the WAN link ... bytes in/out

working: Adtran NetVanta 3200 - firmware 9950860-2a1402.biz (14.02.00.E) Adtran NetVanta 1335 - firmware NV1335a-17-06-01-00-E.biz (17.06.01.00.E)

It seems the firmwares are not the issue. So it might be the SNMP Settings. You can also use our SNMP Tester to do further testing.
