Problems with check_snmp add-on

[Eric Chatham]

I got the Adtran to work with snmpwalk and get.  I would like to monitor "ifOperStatus.1," which is the status on interface 1.  I created this command & service

# 'check_snmp_interface' command defintion
define command {
        command_name    check_snmp_interface
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -o $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
        }

define service{
        host_name                       reach_media
        service_description             INT1
        check_command                   check_snmp_interface!<ip host>!<com string ro>!ifOperStatus.1!1:1
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           1
        check_period                    24x7

When I add the service into Nagios, I keep getting "check_snmp: Invalid critical threshold - ifOperStatus.1"

When I run the "check_snmp" plugin, I don't have any problems.

[root@ ~ libexec]# ./check_snmp -H <ip host> -C <com string ro> -o ifOperStatus.1 -c 1:1
SNMP CRITICAL - *2* | IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.1=2
[root@ ~ libexec]#

Why won't it work on the Nagios webpage?

[root@ ~ libexec]# snmpget -v1 -c <string read-only> <ip host> .1.3.6.1.4.1.664.3.1.1

I took an ethereal capture as well.  After looking at it, it looks like the destination host may not be accepting SNMP traffic.  Is UDP 161 default for SNMP?

[root@ ~ libexec]# tethereal ip host <ip host>
Running as user "root" and group "root". This could be dangerous.

What happens when you run snmpget manually? Does it return the value expected?
