Hi, I re-installed Netsight a while ago and since then SNMP v3 Informs aren't working even though they were working fine before from all our C-series, N-series and S-series switches. SNMP v3 with authPriv is working fine, it's just Informs aren't.
The Traps section of Netsight frustratingly remains on "Unable to find events in log file". The IP address of the server changed, so I updated the command: set snmp targetaddress ... ...on each switch. However, I'm not sure if I'm using the correct SNMP engineID in the configs - ie. the engineID of the Netsight server - as I'm not certain where this is stored. locate shows there's two snmptrapd.conf files: [email protected]:~$ locate snmptrapd.conf /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf /usr/local/Enterasys_Networks/Netsight/appdata/snmptrapd.conf /usr/local/Enterasys_Networks/Netsight/services/snmptrapd.conf 1) /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf is empty except for commented out info 2) /usr/local/Enterasys_Networks/Netsight/appdata/snmptrapd.conf contains just one non-commented line - this was setup in NetSight under "Trap Receiver Configuration" : createuser myremoteuser MD5 myMD5pass DES myDESpass 3) /usr/local/Enterasys_Networks/Netsight/services/snmptrapd.conf contains just two non-commented lines: engineBoots 19 oldEngineID 0x80001f88801146ad4ad48d895100000000 (not sure why that oldEngineID seems to have too many digits in it) If I restart the trap service as follows: [email protected]:~$ service nssnmptrapd restart Stopping nssnmptrapd daemon service.[SUCCESS] Starting nssnmptrapd daemon service. [SUCCESS] Then this increments the engineBoots value in #3 above so it obviously does use this file even though that's not the one with the createuser command in it - so presumably both files are used. My N7 snmp config has a corresponding entry like this: set snmp user myremoteuser remote 80:00:1f:88:80:11:46:ad:4a:d4:8d:89:51 authentication md5 :hash_for_myMD5pass: privacy :hash_for_myDESpass: But as I mentioned, I'm not sure if that's the correct engineID of the Netsight server. Any help appreciated.
