[mrtg] passing authentication in cfgmaker

[Dale DuVall]

I'm new to mrtg and somewhat new to the 7Ks.


I'm trying to add my Nexus 7Ks to MRTG. I had assistance in setting the 7Ks up for snmp, but I can't get mrtg to talk to it.

I've tried something like this:

c:\mrtg\bin>perl cfgmaker <my community>@10.xx.1.3  --username <user> --authpassword <password> --global "W
rkdir: c:\Apache2\htdocs\mrtg" --output 7K2.cfg


SNMP Error:
no response received

                  community: "my community"

WARNING: Skipping admin at 10.xx.1.3: as no info could be retrieved



I've tried using authkey and privkey as well (copied from my 7K configs). I also made sure the network my mrtg server is in is added to the access list.

Can someone give me an example on how to the cfgmaker command?

Thanks in advance,

Dale
