Dell S4820T SNMP Issue
Hello all,
we have S4820T switches that we want to configure SNMP on it.
When we try to configure the SNMP after going to config mode we are getting error:
Error: Invalid input at "^" marker.
sw01(conf)#snmp?
^
% Error: Invalid input at "^" marker.
show commands it is working without any issue.
Version:
Dell Operating System Version: 2.0
Dell Application Software Version: 9.14(1.9P4)
We have the same switch with version 9.14.1.14 and also same issue.

Hello, only thing that may be stopping the configuration is the privilege level of the users attempting to configure the switch.
You can run "show users" to confirm the level of the users first.
I suspect the you (user) are probably set the role to "netadmin" or something.
Repsectfully,

Hello,
that's weird, if i go to the manual of 9.14 i have this list of commands. pag 1507
Dell Command Line Reference Guide for the S4820T System 9.14.1.5
Can you try with the other SNMP command and see wich one doesn't work?
Thanks

Hello Marco,
Thank you for the documentation.
I have tried the show commands and it is working without any issue also I can see there is old snmpconfiguration configured, but for snmp-server command it is not taking it with same error, also when I put the command snmp with question mark it is showing that error as well!
sw01#show snmp user
User name: test
Engine ID: <>
storage-type: nonvolatile active
Authentication Protocol: None
Privacy Protocol: None
sw01(conf)#snmp-server?
^
% Error: Invalid input at "^" marker.
sw01(conf)#snmp?
^
% Error: Invalid input at "^" marker.

You have to put a space before the "?"
Example
sw01(conf)#snmp-server ?

It is the same results:
sw01(conf)#snmp ?
^
% Error: Invalid input at "^" marker.
sw01(conf)#snmp-server ?
^
% Error: Invalid input at "^" marker.

Hello,
You are right it is netadmin, is this is the reason behind it?
sw01#show run | find user
username Test secret 5 <> privilege 15 role netadmin
below is the output:
Authorization Mode: role or privilege
Line User Role Priv Host(s) Location
* 2 vty 0 Test netadmin 15 idle 192.168.10.10

Hello,
yes you have to access with a sysadmin user role.
Thanks

Hello Marco,
Thank you for your confirmation.
I think we have little issue here since I only have this user which is configured as netadmin, under the current user I am not able to create new user, is there a way to create this sysadmin user or is it configured as default or we will need to reset the switch?
sw00(conf)#user ?
