Network Appliance Monitoring Using SNMP v3

[nitin.gupta111]

Hi,

I am configuring StealthWatch monitoring using SNMP v3. The network guys has provided me the EngineID as 0x(34 Characters) long.
They have given the below output:
grep -i engineid /var/lib/snmp/snmpd.conf
oldEngineID 0x......(34 characters).

I am not sure the oldEngineID is same as EngineID.

I have added the user details with this EngineID, but it is not resolving the traps received.

If anyone used StealthWatch or have any idea where to see the EngineID on appliance, please guide.

I'm not familiar with StealthWatch.

When you added the user details, are any traps being sent out? Or is that what you mean by, it sends but can't receive.

Also, is this perhaps related to your previous thread or are you using a different device to send SNMP v3 traps?

Are you monitoring it with the network wizard? I'm not exactly sure what you mean?

I am monitoring using SNMP Traps no wizard. After adding I sent the SNMP Traps, but it is still not reaching.

For example, add these two lines to the top of the snmptrapd.conf file and then is should receive SNMP v3 traps. Adjust the settings for your environment.

Code: Select all

createUser -e 0x8000000001020304 traptest SHA mypassword AES mypassword
authuser log traptest

This line should be removed

Code: Select all

disableAuthorization yes

And this line should remain

Code: Select all

traphandle default /usr/sbin/snmptthandler

The traphandle command will pass the trap to the SNMP Trap Translation daemon if it is received.
Report back if it works or not and your snmptrapd.conf file so we can view it.

Update to my previous post.
This line

Code: Select all

disableAuthorization yes

Still needs to be in the snmptraps.conf file.
