I am now at work and did some simple tests following examples at
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-netsnmpnipython/
My results are:
* v1 and v2 snmpwalk worked if specifiying 'sysDescr' but I got an
output message of "sysDesr = None ( None )". The output of
'result' was correct.
* v1 and v2 snmpget and snmpwalk worked ok if specifiying
'sysDescr.0'. The prompt just returns and the output of 'result'
was as expected :)
* With v3 i get a major error if the value of AuthProto is in lower
case. The python interpreter exited back to the shell !!! Note
that standard snmpget command allows "-A sha" or "-A SHA" or "-A
sHa" ... Obviously using strcasecmp, but python bindings seem
less forgiving.
>>> import netsnmp
>>> oid = netsnmp.Varbind('sysDescr.0')
>>> result = netsnmp.snmpget(oid, Version=3,
DestHost='10.0.100.177', SecName='admin', SecLevel='authNoPriv',
AuthProto='sha', AuthPass='Password1')
error:snmp_new_v3_session:Unsupported authentication protocol(sha)
error:v3_session: couldn't open SNMP session().
Bus error
* Tried v3 with AuthProto='SHA' (instead of 'sha'). Python prompt
returned without any error, but result was set to (None,) instead
of expected text. OK, the password was wrong so shouldn't python
have returned some kind of authentication error ???
* Tried v3 with AuthProto='SHA' and correct password. Python prompt
returned without any error and result was as expected :)
Cheers, Brendan.
