We just started using a brand-new MikroNOC 8400 with RouterOS 5.2 to replace a very stressed RB493AH running RouterOS 3.30, and I'm encountering the same issue. It won't respond to SNMP queries or walks: "Timeout: No Response from xx.xx.xx.xx." The new router was configured from the backup of the old one, which didn't have this problem.
SMNP is enabled, the community string is correct, no security, and it should work with v1, but I get nothing. I even tried setting Authentication and Encryption and using v3, just to cover all the bases, but again, no response.
I see some other SNMP issues covered in the changelog, but not this one. All the other Mikrotiks I am using work just fine. Am I missing something obvious? Has this been solved?
This morning, I connected to the other brand-new MikroNOC 8400 with 5.2, with the intent of upgrading this one to 5.11 in hopes that would solve the SNMP problem. Just out of curiosity, before I installed the upgrade, I tried to do an snmpwalk on it, figuring it would not work, and giving me a decent baseline. Nope - this one doesn’t have the problem.
I made sure that the SNMP settings (as shown by export) are identical between the two routers, and the only firewall filter rule that appears at all relevant is identical (action=accept chain=input comment=UDP disabled=no protocol=udp).
I can pass an snmpwalk request through the problem router to a device on the other side, and it works - so that also suggests this isn’t a firewall blocking issue.
So now, I can still do the upgrade, but it looks as though the RouterOS version 5.2 is not the sole cause of the problem, and I am not confident that the newer OS will solve it. I feel like I am missing the important key to the puzzle, and the solution is just beyond my reach. Any ideas?
