Openmanage issue while discovering MXL switch

Question

Hello all, i face the following issue. I have one M1000e with 4 MXL network switch on it. I have configure identically all four switches. I performed a discover through Openmanage and the 3 switches we imported successfully but one failed all the time. The error i receive is the following :

: ========== EEMI Code: CGEN1009 ==========

Message: Unable to perform the requested action because the device management endpoint authentication over SNMP failed.

Recommended actions: Make sure the credentials associated with the device management endpoint are valid and retry the operation.

=======================================

Task Failed. Completed With Errors.

The SNMP settings are the following

sh running-config :

!
snmp-server community MXLpalTr@p01 ro
snmp-server community MXLpalTr@p02 rw
snmp-server host traps version 1 public udp-port 162
!

The OM version i am running is 3.2.0 (build 241)

Any suggestions what i can try?

If it is working on 3 of the 4 switches then I would suspect the problem is with the switch. SNMP commands start on page 1207 of the Command Line Reference Guide. I would start with a show snmp command, that should provide statistics on why requests are being rejected.
