Be 24 meg Thompson Speedtouch snmp enable
We have the Be 24 meg adsl in the office which uses their own Thompson Speedtouch 716 router. I’ve had some fun tracking down how you enable SNMP. This is what I had to do.
Check if the SNMP_AGENT system service is enabled, mine was not:
id="typed" id="typed"{Administrator}=>service system list
Idx Name Protocol SrcPort DstPort Group State
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 CWMP_client tcp 80 disabled
2 CWMP_server tcp 51005 disabled
3 DHCP-S udp 49152 disabled
4 DNS-C udp 53 enabled
5 DNS-S udp 53 enabled
6 Dynamic DNS enabled
7 FTP tcp 21 enabled
8 HTTP tcp 80 enabled
9 HTTPI tcp 8080 disabled
10 HTTPs tcp 443 enabled
11 IGMP-Proxy igmp disabled
12 IP_COMMANDS enabled
13 MDAP udp 3235 enabled
14 PING_RESPONDER icmp 8 enabled
15 PPTP enabled
16 RIP udp 520 520 disabled
17 SNMP_AGENT udp 161 enabled
18 SNTP udp 123 123 disabled
19 SSDP udp 1900 enabled
20 TELNET tcp 23 enabled
21 VOIP_SIP 5060 disabled
22 WEBF tcp 80 disabled
{Administrator}=>
Turn it on
{Administrator}=>service system modify
name = SNMP_AGENT
[state] = enabled
[log] = false
:service system modify name=SNMP_AGENT state=enabled log=disabled
{Administrator}=>
Add a RO community
{Administrator}=>snmp community add
securityname = ROCommunity
communityname = ******
Please retype communityname for verification.
communityname = ******
:snmp community add securityname=ROCommunity communityname=_DEV_E43BC822A4BAE52F
{Administrator}[snmp community]=>
Where the asterisks are type your chosen community name.
Once this is done I could access the router using SNMP version 1 and my RO community string

Hi,
I am also on Be* there is pdf document flying around explaining all the command line options, if you drop me an email ill forward it to you.
THANKYOU! This was just what I needed for my 576v6 !
Hi
I have enabled SNMP on my 716 but have not been able to get anything back from it using standard network tools (such as Prtg).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Clive, one of the problems I had was I was using snmp version 2c to try and get data from the router, nothing was happening. When I tried version 1 it was fine. From a unix command line try:
# snmpwalk -v 1 -c public a.b.c.d
where public is your community string and a.b.c.d is the address of your router.
Please can you help?
I have SpeedTouch 585 on bethere.co.uk.
I tried enabling SNMP in cli:
I type this: “snmp community list” yield:
Read-write SNMP community name : not specified
Read-only SNMP community name : *****
I have changed the password with:
snmp community modify ROCommunity —> to public
I can still not get any values from it when testing with getif.
Can get values from the great many other devices I monitor.
Help will be much appreciated.

I have noticed the issue seems to be Static IP mode on ETHoA. Multi IP mode gives no SNMP issues at all. The issue for me only seems on the external side. I have run winmerge and compared config files, seems like there is nothing stopping it. very annoying…

I’ve practically learnt the CLI commands inside out trying to get SNMP to work, I was also using v2c in my snmpwalk. That would explain why I could see the service running but no SNMP port open. Arrgh!
Changed to v1 and it was fine. Thankyou very much!
given to us from a secret source!
it solved all the problems!

G’day, It is nice to find a good site like this one. Would you mind if I use some of your information, and I’ll leave a link back to you?
Hi Alfonso, no problem, use whatever you like. A link back would be appreciated.
thanks and keep tight lines.
