Hello,

Can you download our SNMP Tester from the following link?

SNMP Tester

Then use it to test against that second iLO host? Just check to see if you can get System Uptime to start with.

If you can, let me know, and I'll send you a walk script to check the OIDs we monitor in the iLOs.

Thanks!

Hi, No , both of them are iLO 4 , and even the firmwares are the same , the version of Snmp which i've been configured is V2 as well.

Thats very weird as one replies with Timeticks, and the other replies with Primitive to Uptime requests. But you say both of them are the exact same. Something is off here.

Can you please open a support ticket, and send screenshots of the SNMP config for each iLO?
