How to setup SNMP browser with Peplink Router WiFi ports

[torrmundi]

I have Peplink Max BR1 Mini (HW3) and my Win11 PC is connected via WiFi to the BR1 on 192.168.50.xxx.

I’ve set the SNMP parameters in the router Web UI:

When I query port 161 I get:

C:\portqry -n 192.168.50.1 -e 161 -p udp
Querying target system called:
192.168.50.1
Attempting to resolve IP address to a name…
IP address resolved to ashlingbr1
querying…
UDP port 161 (snmp service): LISTENING or FILTERED
community name for query:
public
Sending SNMP query to UDP port 161…
UDP port 161 (snmp service): FILTERED

When I use Frameflow SNMP Browser, it shows status = No Response:

Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong here?
Oh, and I used Port Forwarding for Port 161 from WiFi (2.4 & 5 GHz) to Server (my PC) 192.168.50.xx.

Hello.
Look at your screen… at Community Name… you need to add a sample:
public as community name and the network address, something link 192.168.0.0/16 (255.255.0.0)

Thank you Marcelo! It’s half-way there now. Yes, I’m an SNMP noob.

Any idea how to get the OID’s translated to the symbolic names found in Peplink’s MIB files?
I have the Peplink Mib files located in c:\Program Files (x86)\FrameFlow SNMP Browser\MIBS\ as directed.

Or, do you have a suggestion for a good freeware SNMP browser?

Sending SNMP query to UDP port 161…
UDP port 161 is LISTENING

Hi…
I use my Raspberry PI… MRTG on it…

Sample:
cfgmaker [email protected]::::::2

at the end… build it inside of mrtg.cfg

Hi there, I’ve just managed to get a Mikrotik working but wanted to do the same with Pepwave Max BR2 - did you find how to get the OIDs??

I’m an SNMP/Prometheus noob, but slowly getting there. Thanks for any guidance!

SNMP

Do you want to try this free personal edition MIB Browser ?

SNMP MONITORING SOFtWARE

1. You can upload Peplink MIB using the MIB Browser tools.
   

   

2. It should able to give you all the OIDs name & the MIB tree info ^^

Hope the above can help you to move forward ^^

Resurrecting this post! I’ve managed to read the SNMP to get OIDs using a iReasoning MIB reader so my SNMP settings are all correct, but does anyone here know how to format the snmp.yml so it scrapes the data?

I’d like to read ifInOctets / ifOutOctets and prometheus isn’t scraping what I would have hoped, the snmp.yml reads

pepwave:
metrics:
- name: ifInOctets
oid: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1
type: interger
- name: ifInOctets
oid: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10
type: counter
indexes:
- labelname: ifIndex
type: interger
- name: ifOutOctets
oid: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16
type: counter
indexes:
- labelname: ifIndex
type: interger
timeout: 10s
retries: 3

I noticed with the mikrotik module it has walk OIDs and a get OID before the metrics - am guessing those bits might help (I’m just trying to follow the same formatting as something that works… but not experienced with this)

Thanks

I managed to get snmp_exporter generator working, can help if anyone needs an snmp.yml generated!
