HI Chris,
Thanks for the insight. My switch table is as follows
#switch,snmpversion,username,password,privacy,auth,linkports,sshusername,sshpassword,protocol,switchtype,comments,disable
"ms-h25-data-10g-42","SNMPv1",,,,,,,,,"Cisco",,
"ms-h25-mgtobm-1g-40","SNMPv1",,,,,,,,,"Cisco",,
I did origionaly have just "2c" for the snmpversion and have now tried 1,
2c, SNMPv1, SNMPv2c... All with now luck.
Will have to get wire shark onto it and find out what is happening.
Thanks
Nick

</span>I'm just bringing up a new cluster with xCAT and found that I was \
having<br> issues with xCAT talking to the switches for discovery of the blade \
chassis.<br> <br>
It turned out that whilst the documentation said that xCAT defaults to<br>
using SNMPv1 by default it actually takes the default of the underlying<br>
library and that now is SNMPv3.<br>
<br>
So we did:<br>
<br>
# tabdump switches<br>
#switch,snmpversion,username,password,privacy,auth,linkports,sshusername,sshpassword,protocol,switchtype,comments,disable<br>
"sw18","SNMPv1",,,,,,,,,"BNT",,<br>
<br>
You can tell for certain with wireshark or tcpdump.<br>
<br>
If that is the case for that you can just set it as above (of course<br>
you'll want "Cisco" instead of "BNT" for yours).<br>
<br>
Best of luck!<br>
Chris<br>
