Dave Thanks for your help!

That is correct - an SNMPv3 request will fail if the boot time/count values in the request don't match the agent's idea of the current values. I believe this is to avoid replay attacks. > I learnt that SNMP agent should increase the engineboot if agent restarted, > how should I implement this function that SNMP Manager don't > need do a handshake again if SNMP agent restarted? The manager will need to resend the request, with updated boot count/time values.These can be taken from the "not in timewindow" Report message that was sent by the agent. If the manager is written using the Net-SNMP libraries, then I'd expect this to happen automatically. If it's using a different toolkit, then you'd need to talk to the appropriate vendor to find out how to handle this with their code. <<<Barclay >>> I try to use set_enginetime() by set the engineboots to a value stored in out side of agent. set_enginetime(c_engineID, engineIDLen, get_snmpEngineBoots(), snmpv3_local_snmpEngineTime(), TRUE); Then when Manager side send request, agent will return with new engineboot, then manager side will send request again with new engineboot and time. I thought this time, agent will think its in sync with manager side. But unfortunately, seems usm_check_and_update_timeliness() will still return error, it will compare the the static engineBoots stored in agent with the new engineboots value. boots_uint != myBoots if (boots_uint == ENGINEBOOT_MAX || boots_uint != myBoots || time_difference > USM_TIME_WINDOW) { ..... *error = SNMPERR_USM_NOTINTIMEWINDOW; return -1; } myBoots is get from snmpv3_local_snmpEngineBoots: snmpv3_local_snmpEngineBoots(void) { return engineBoots; } Seems I can not set this static engineBoots? <<<Barclay >>> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
