Issue/Introduction

In order to reproduce certain SNMP related issues, we will sometimes request a sapwalk output file.

How do I run sapwalk?

 

Environment

Resolution

First, download the sapwalk tool and extract it on the server:

https://devicesupport.broadcom.com/sapwalk2/sapwalk2.zip

Next, follow these very detailed instructions:

• In a cmd prompt, change to the directory where the sapwalk.exe file was extracted.
   
• Run the sapwalk utility thusly:
  
  sapwalk2.exe -i (ip address) -v (snmp version) -s 1.3.6 -c (community name) -xv 1.3.6.1 -o (filename).walk
  
  Where:
  (ip address) = The IP address of the device at issue
  (snmp version) = The SNMP version the device at issue runs. Valid
  values are:
  v1
  v2c
  v3
  (community name) = The community string for accessing the devices MIB.
  Any valid community string with Read permissions can be used.
  
   
• Finally, when sapwalk is done, gather the output file and forward as needed.
