Hi all,
I am trying to add a new SNMP host to a PIX so that I can use MRTG (or others) to monitor the volume of traffic.
What happens is as follows:
fw01(config)# snmp-server host inside 192.168.1.199 poll community public
Error : IP and subnetmask form invalid pair indicating broadcast or network address
If I try it with a different IP address (from same /24 subnet), it works, eg:
fw01(config)# snmp-server host inside 192.168.1.20 poll community public
This works fine.
The subnet I am trying to add the polling server from is a remote subnet, so it isn't listed on any of the interfaces of the PIX. Why would I get the error from one IP address and not another ??
Just out of interest I tried 192.168.1.200 and that failed as well (same error as above), but if I try .198 or .201 they both work. This suggests to me that the PIX is doing something strange with the subnetting and deciding that the IP address is invalid, but I can't see how/why it would do this.
I'd prefer not to have to change the IP address of the monitoring PC I have setup just for this PIX.
Version of PIX is 7.0.4 and its a 515E.
