Hello ,
Could it be possible that i can hardcode the engine id for each user i create i.e In /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf createUser -e 0x0102030405 v3_user MD5 mysecretpass DES mypassphrase This lines in snmpd.conf is replaced by an encrypted key , but what i suppose that the entry for this user does not get created in USM table as when i hit snmpget request as: snmpget -e 0x0102030405 -v v3_user -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A mysecretpass localhost sysUptime.0 RESPONSE = "Timeout : No Response from localhost" snmpget -v v3_user -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A mysecretpass localhost sysUptime.0 RESPONSE = snmpget : Unkwon user Name Whereas for TRAPS: Though i read that we need to hardcode the engineID for sending trap in snmd.conf as the engineID of the engine *sending* the trap PDU and the trap reciever would need to be configured with appropriate users for each trap generator with the hardcoded engineID as send by the agent { [ -- FROM EMAIL ARCHIVE NET-SNMP FORUM -- ] If you are sending an SNMPv3 trap PDU, then the engineID should be that of the engine *sending* the trap (and the trap receiver would need to be configured with appropriate users for each trap generator. If you are sending an SNMPv3 inform PDU, then the engine ID should be that of the engine *receiving* the trap.} so i hardcoded the engine-id at agent in /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf as : trapsess -e 0x0102030405 -v 3 -u v3_user -a MD5 -A mysecretpass -l authNoPriv I was able to recieve the traps Could u explain why so and can we hardcode the engineID for the Users while creating Br Gaurav -- My life has changed.
