I did the investigations and you can find the configurations for SNMP Traps and Informs below:
See the following O/P, what happens when I configure the remote user without the remote Engine ID. router(config)#snmp-server user cisco mine remote 10.20.30.40 v3 router(config)# *Jul 6 08:12:19.914: %SNMP-4-NOENGINEID: Remote snmpEngineID for 10.20.30.40 no t found when creating user: cisco The remote user configuration fails, if the remote Engine ID for 10.20.30.40 has not been configured. Hence a remote Engine Id is required when you configure a snmp remote user In the case of Traps, the sender is authoritative. The local SNMP Engine ID and local user passwords are used to create the digest for authentication and encryption. snmp-server enable traps cpu snmp-server group mine v3 priv snmp-server user cisco mine v3 auth sha cisco priv 3des cisco snmp-server host 10.20.30.40 traps version 3 priv cisco In the case of Informs, the receiver is authoritative. The remote security Engine ID and remote user passwords are used to create the digest for authentication and encryption. To send Informs, we need to configure the remote engine ID and remote user. snmp-server engineID remote 10.20.30.40 123456789A snmp-server enable traps cpu snmp-server group mine v3 priv snmp-server user cisco mine remote 10.20.30.40 v3 auth sha cisco priv 3des cisco snmp-server host 10.20.30.40 traps version 3 priv cisco Please provide your inputs, if you feel something is missing above ccie doc - http://conft.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3750/software/release/12.2_35_se/configuration/guide/swsnmp.html#wp1043530 With regards Kings On Mon, Jul 5, 2010 at 9:40 PM, Kingsley Charles <[email protected] > wrote: > Hi all > > > Snippet from > http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_0t/12_0t3/feature/guide/Snmp3.html#wp18842 > > The following example shows how to configure a remote user to receive traps > at the v3 security model and the noAuthNoPriv security level: > > snmp-server group remotegroup v3 noauth > > snmp-server user remoteuser remotegroup *remote *16.20.11.14 v3 > > snmp-server host 16.20.11.14 informs version 3 noauth remoteuser config > > > > This snippet confuses me. > > The explanation tells us that remote user is required to receive traps but > the configuration sample below is for Informs which means for sending. > > Any thoughts? > > > > > > With regards > Kings >
