NetFunctional Inc.

We recently open sourced the nf_snmp Titanium module, and have released the code on Github.

Quick example of how to use this

var snmpModule = require("netfunctional.snmp");

if(result == null) {
//_callback(null);
return null;
} else {
var temp = result.split(" ");
var tmp2 = '';
for(var i = 3; i < temp.length; i++) { tmp2 += temp[i] + " "; } return _callback(hostaddress, tmp2); }

As part of app marketing and release processes, we frequently use Apples iTunes promo codes or redemption codes – the seemingly random string of characters issued by the iTunes store.

We’ve put together a quick doc for our customers on how to redeem these codes, using either the App Store on the device, or iTunes – you can download it from here: How To Redeem Promo Codes

ESX 4.x
VMWare supports SNMP on ESX through the use of the net-snmp agent – see VMWare’s SNMP on 4.x docs for details. An example snmp.conf file:

syscontact [email protected]
syslocation Datacenter, Rack 32, U2
rocommunity public
proxy -v 1 -c public udp:127.0.0.1:171 .1.3.6.1.4.1.6876
proxy -v 2c -c public udp:127.0.0.1:171 .1.3.6.1.4.1.6876

ESXi 4.x

Matthew White has written a quick and to the point article on enabling SNMP on ESXi – you can read it on his blog.

Our SNMP Scan App searches for SNMP enabled devices. This usually finds printers, home routers and other networked devices. By default, however, Cisco IOS devices won’t be found, and can’t be graphed. This is because Cisco IOS disables SNMP by default.

Here’s to safely enable it.

1. Login to your router, switch or access point.
2. Enter configuration mode (config term)
3. Setup an access list on which network you will allow SNMP requests to come from. In our example, we’ll use the 10.0.1.0/24 network. So we enter

   access-list 30 permit 10.0.1.0 0.0.0.255

4. Enable SNMP – pick your community name. In our example, we’ll use ‘netfunctional’ as the community name.

   snmp-server community netfunctional RO 30

   This lets any device which matches Access List 30 talk to our Cisco device using the SNMP community ‘netfunctional’.

5. Exit configuration mode – enter

   exit

6. Save the configuration – enter

   write memory

Note that these instructions will likely work for Juniper, Foundry Networks and other devices which use Cisco IOS-like syntax for configuration. For more information, see Cisco’s Cisco IOS Configuration – SNMP Chapter.
