The first 3 questions can be answered with a google search of "snmp". This page on wikipedia is a good starting point.

The last question is more interesting, and really depends on what the problem is. The most common issue is connectivity between SNMP agent and management app:

  1. Can you ping it? If not, resolve that, google "cannot ping".
  2. Does it respond to ANY request? If not, try a packet analyser such as wireshark otherwise google "cannot snmpwalk"

Anything else is problem-specific and can probably be googled.

  • Ping is a very poor way to determine whether a host provides a service. ICMP can (and often is) enabled or disabled completely independently of other services. That being said, it can form _part_ of your diagnostics because if you _do_ get a ping response then at least you know that the host is up. – Lightness Races in Orbit Sep 11 '18 at 18:18
  • Anyway most of this answer is "Google it" so not very useful. – Lightness Races in Orbit Sep 11 '18 at 18:18
